Current Owner of BeOS Code Claims Zeta is Illegal

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the not-so-fast dept.

Hank Powers writes "The legal status of the Zeta operating system that was derived from the source code Be Inc. left shortly before going bankrupt has been unclear for several years. Now, the current owner of the source code, ACCESS, claims "if Herr Korz feels that he holds a legitimate license to the BeOS code he's been using, we're completely unaware of it, and I'd be fascinated to see him produce any substantiation for that claim". The sales of Zeta have been suspended and so has the development been halted as well. OSNews has an article about the recent developments."

    Wondering whether it's true on the evidence so far is perfectly free speech. And researching its facts is even further protected from libel charges. Maybe if you knew more about libel, Anonymous scaredy Coward, you'd be able to spell it.

    Go ahead and stick your head in the sand. I'm done wasting time here.

    I do hope your pet project goes down in flames due to something like this.
