Maui X-Stream: GPL Violations, Lies, and Damn Lies
Jeremy writes "Drunkenbatman is at it again. This time he takes apart Maui X-Stream and all the who and whats that go along with it. Deconstructing Maui X-Stream has GPL Violations with reproducable proof (not done this myself), chat logs, and double talk from the CEO's and supposed authors of the software."
Your "food" for thought is poisonous, you dill-hole. First of all, most linux users steal nothing at all. There are many more versions of pirated windows in use than any "pirated" linux installations (because pirated linux doesn't really exist). In fact most software of any kind that is stolen is done so by windows users, and I don't blame them. After they pay for their hardware they are expected to go spend another $600 or so on software?!?!? That doesn't happen to the linux community.
Next, we have your xbox statement. I tell you why people want to do that (install linux on it) - it's just a cheap PC, NOT a "bitching gaming machine". Installing lnux on it let's you do a lot more with it. Period. EULAs are stupid, because they hope that you'll buy something then admit that you don't own it... which shouldn't happen. That's called renting, which the store never said I was doing. There is no way to review the idiotic EULA before buying, therefore it's a scam I won't be a victim of.
And your post is FUD we won't be victims of.

The "risk" is dealing with hundreds of petty brats who think they're experts on the law, and think we've harmed them personally. Maybe we're overestimating it. Doesn't matter. Looks like we were scared off.
Most companies prefer to make a profit than proving their manliness.
