CherryOS Mac Emulator Resurfaces
Clash writes "Following its initial announcement and subsequent controversy last October, Mac emulator CherryOS has finally been released. Its creator, Arben Kryeziu, found himself in hot water last year amid claims the software was simply stolen from the open source PearPC project. With the code now under public scrutiny, it appears that such allegations are true. According to BetaNews, CherryOS boots up in the exact same manner as PearPC, and its error messages and source files are nearly identical. The emulator also includes MacOnLinuxVideo, which is the same driver used by PearPC to speed up graphics. The CherryOS configuration file also closely mirrors that used by PearPC.

lol hy this is so heartiez
keep fighting great nord
But does it run Linux? And has anybody looked into setting up a Beowulf cluster...
No, think about it. If we had no respect for each others property, the whole concept would be meaningless. This isn't anything like believing in santa claus (unless you mean believing in the spirit of christmas or some such silliness).
apple isn't cool anymore:
suing journalists
closed file formats
hardware lock-in
DRM
and people ripping off apple are even less cool.
parent deserves +5 insightful.

If God came down to earth and decided to talk to
the people,
his words would be plain and simple,
his words would leave no room for doubt or argument.
He would talk to the people like, Noam Chomsky.

If I spend hundred hours writing software which I then publish under GPL, I would be quite willing to sell you a non-exclusive proprietary license for 100 hours times 40 GBP = 4000 GBP. If you steal it, the damage to me is 4000 GBP. I bet it took more than 100 hours to write that emulator.
And this is the same argument that piracy apologists like: "I wasn't going to pay you, so you haven't lost anything... and you still have your code, so nothing was stolen".
(I'm not saying that you support piracy, only that IP is not the evil concept so many people like to think it is)
No sig
He can't be a known troll. He can be a known troller, or known for posting trolls (which is still doubtful at best). In any case, the moderation system is supposed to rate comments, not authors. Do you suggest that if someone was known for posting funny comments (like the original poster, I might add), then we should moderate all of his comments as funny, even those without any actual humor in them, because he is a known funny guy? Interesting concept.
