The Mac version warns me that I won't be able to run Ring because of my security settings and directs me to the Mac App Store to look for a newer version. Quite literally rolling on the floor laughing! (No, not literally)
In the Finder, locate the app you want to open. Press the Control key and click the app icon, then choose Open from the shortcut menu. Click Open. I have never seen any Mac app for which I have ever needed to do this. Apple thinks it should warn me that I might have downloaded malware.
Does this mean that GNU did not pay the Apple tax?

GNU or rather, the FSF doesn't generally do releases of GNU software. That's left to the maintainers.
Even if the FSF were willing to pay Apple to sign things, and if it were possible using only free tools, it would be difficult to coordinate with all the maintainers.
Ok but why does nobody want to name any other specific one app that does this?
I feel like I was justified in calling this out, because nobody will actually name an app that does this.
It looks wholly unprofessional to release a 1.0 with this identity warning, unless you're GNU! Then it's fashionable and people will come to your defense, for sticking to free software and libre as in freedom only, like the great St. Ignucius intended. :-)
