Releasing the source will not only loose them money (ie: no one's going to pay for something they can compile themselves, especially a $99 rip off.) but it will also prove they stole source, although I'd imagine they'll try and cover that up as best they can before releasing the source... if they do that is.American Zombie said:Think this has to do with the fact that PearPC are building a lawsuit against them?

No...SPeedY_B said:Anyone surprised?
I'm not surprised at all. They also have a new "project" that has stolen code now. I forgot what it is now though.SPeedY_B said:Seems to be missing from the Maui X-Stream Products page also.

Ehm, good for you?Bman™ said:I have decided that the whole mac-alike type thing is retarded. If you want to use your computer like a mac, then get a mac. lol
Yeah if I get bored (or you do) I'll take a look @ /. and see if I can find it.SPeedY_B said:Really? Interesting. Stupid, but interesting
Goyuix writes "In their latest commercial venture, Maui X-Stream, the now infamous company behind Cherry OS, has recently launched a suite of tools that once again takes advantage of GPL'd code to get their dirty work done... This time it is a set of video encoding, streaming and display tools. A choice quote from SourceForge: 'There are boundled dshow filters, string, toolbars, dialogs, command line switches, etc..., which can be verified easily by just running the applications and taking a look, or a bit harder by analysing the memory dump'. Is the situation getting worse or is community just getting better at finding the violators?"
The last bite on CherryOS
I decided that C-OS is not worth the hassle, not now or in the future. C-OS went to work without brushing its teeth or taking a shower, it was not ready.
Other current open source projects are progressing to the desired product; Qemu will soon support OS X and lead the way. Or maybe I am wrong and someone else will make a fast lead.
I love my Mac and would never switch back, sure I use my PC for work but that is just a bad habit that I am trying to get rid of. A friend of mine asked me why I am still creating software for Windows and that question is not getting out of my head. Oh yeah, I know - everyone out there who has their certain opinion about me will have their great comment hour right now. Its ok I expect that anyway.
Now what?
Don't know and won't know for a while.
I will go kite boarding or go fishing, get some air before I go back to my beloved square box. Tiger is great, amazing features and I love the hidden details. Don't know how Longhorn is going to compete with this OS now, would love to know what BG has planned for the future of Windows other than the marketing details.
What will change everything is WIFIMAX, wow it will be the first step into a security nightmare and communication dreamland.
