Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the very-hard-to-recover-your-rep dept.

oil-can writes "The guys behind CherryOS announced Zentu Encoder today, saying Zentu is the the third generation of their VX30 codec. DrunkenBlog warns about the product with references to their history." Zentu is an encoding platform that boasts the ability to export video in a quick efficient way to either a Flash or Java based system with an interface for both inexperienced and power users.

    I don't make a move until I get an official stance from drunkenblog.

    Looking deeper into the linked article, there is some really very good evidence elsewhere on the site. http://www.drunkenblog.com/drunkenblog-archives/00 0534.html is a total dissection of the first few generations of this "Vx30" codec and suite -- which appears to be a direct lift of Xvid, mpg123, lame, and mplayer classic code, as well as code from the JPEG group and others.

    I have been using this nick name for over 10 years, and NOW some retarted company is using it... I made this entire nickname up while on the john. I was planning on buying zentu.com, but WHENEVER I had the money to buy the domain some marketing group had it, and being a poor college student doesn't allow me to pay $300+ to register it.

    I am pissed off now. First this stupid company trys to repackage OSS products to profit, and now they steal my damn nickname.
