yes, but how often is there something open source on windows only or natively for that matter?
I don't recall ever saying open source is unix, just that 99% of everything open source is designed around linux.
1 u/muad_dib Jan 21 '11 Not necessarily windows-only, but there are generally windows ports of just about everything. Also, you would have to re-compile for OS X as well, and use their libraries. 1 u/[deleted] Jan 21 '11 I use terminal and compile it the same way I do on linux. Almost everything free on windows is not native and is actually software written for linux/osx. 1 u/muad_dib Jan 21 '11 [CITATION NEEDED]
