PearPC Trying to Sue CherryOS

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the this-is-going-to-get-interesting dept.

Varg Vikernes writes "PearPC developers are taking in donations to sue Maui X-Stream, the developers of the MAC emulator software CherryOS. There have been allegations that CherryOS is nothing more than PearPC code, which is open-source, but with a GUI attached to it. One of the PearPC developers tried to get in contact with someone from Maui X-Stream, but eventually were told to "speak with an Attorney" about the allegations. "

    This should have been done when the allegations first surfaced but better late than never. The more GPL authors who stand up for their rights in court, the fewer vultures will try to rip off GPL code.

    Nobody needs to emulate Media Access Control. CherryOS and PearPC emulate Macs.
