CherryOS is dead! Long live PearPC!

Posted by timothy on from the now-it's-officious dept.

trygvebw writes "Earlier today, an entry was posted on Arben Kryzeiu's blog, stating that he was stopping development of CherryOS. CherryOS was an application sold by MXS, inc, which was clearly an illegal rip-off of the open-source PowerPC emulator PearPC. CherryOS is dead, long live PearPC!"

    Is there an apology or anything?

    Didn't think so

  2. "Other open-source projects" by R.Mo_Robert · · Score: 0, Redundant

    One sentence in the blog post says:

    "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.

    Maybe "someone else" besides Qemu will lead the way to supporting OS X? Don't they mean something like PearPC, which they surely know about considering they stole its code? The fact that they're totally avoiding mentioning this product in their blog post says a lot.
