That's the truth that no one is will to admit to here. These people are just common thieves and probably anarchists. If they were in charge of the bottom line of a software company and the security of their family depended on it, they would be singing a different tune.
Here we go down shitty analogy blvd. There is nothing Orwellian about this. This guy is a bounty hunter tracking down thieves. If freely copying and distributing wasn't illegal, he wouldn't have a job. Capiche?
Nothing he is doing is preventing freedom of speech, or any other act of freedom. There is nothing here about "Thought Crimes." Thinking about all kinds of illegal things is perfectly legal, there are exceptions, but that doesn't hurt or hinder anybody. Doing those illegal things is totally different.
He's hated because all you guys are stealing his clients software!
To use your flawed analogy, you are steling the software companies lunch money. If you don't need this software don't use it. If you do need it, pay for it. There is no honor among thieves!
Assembly is great for neat loops and optimizations etc... But, in the end what you have is really specific code. If you keep in mind that it will be a one off type endevour, more power to ya'. Great for demo's, and neato graphics. Though, no GNU tool, or anything that goes with a regular Linux distro should be coded in assembly.
Did I just point out something painfully obvious? Sorry...
If I were ARM, I wouldn't be worried. This thing isn't anywhere near useful. And in an industry like this, stealing IP doesn't go over very well at all. Does anyone remember the hullbaloo between iNTEL and Digital? Part of the settlement included the StrongARM processor IIRC.

Are you the kind of person that goes to Costco to eat lunch, via free samples?

Yeah, Texas Instruments manufactures Sparcs for SUN microsystems.

The concept of Galeon really intrigues me. I've always been a fan of compact fast code.

You'd think it would just be common sense to find out if a name is either: Trademarked, or already in use(see sawmill). Oh well.
