Maui X-Stream at it Again?
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?"
Different than what Red Hat did when they started?
eTomi Pro does a similar thing. They say the software is free, but you have to pay to download it. It's like limewire, with a few UI tweaks (the sources for those changes weren't made available) I know people who've been jewed by etomi.
