So. Homebrew is illegal now too, then?

EDIT: People seem to be misunderstanding this screenshot. This is me running a program installed by Brew and it being blocked by macOS Gatekeeper. You can see me executing it from the command line and you can see in the error message that Homebrew downloaded it. Although brew is in general working for me, this particular formula's app got blocked. After making the post I resolved the problem and do not need help.

@mcc @tobyink Add the --no-quarantine option when running `brew install` per the documentation: https://docs.brew.sh/Manpage#install-options-formulacask-

@homebrew is not “illegal” on #Mac. Many developers notarize their apps with #Apple for #macOS and do not require that switch. Stop spreading FUD.
