And to expand on that, the PSPP developers release source code
and each platform (Windows, Mac, each Linux distro) then needs a
package maintainer to compile the software and "package" it to
make it available for end-users.
(To be clear, end-users are also allowed, even encouraged, to
compile the software themselves, but that is beyond the technical
capabilities of the average computer user.)
So virtually 100% of the users of PSPP are using a version made
by someone else.
Not that it's a bad idea to find out who made it. You are
trusting that the compiled code is sound. I can vouch for having
installed and used the Windows version of PSPP, but obviously your
mileage may vary.
