Maui X-Stream at it Again?

Posted by timothy on from the hasn't-yet-caught-on dept.

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?"

    Wasn't Internet Explorer originally based on Spyglass Mosaic?

    Wasn't that originally licensed under the GPL?

    Wouldn't that make any subsequent versions of IE based originally on Spyglass Mosaic?

    Show me the source!
