![]() I guess I am biased here, against Palm, ‘hate their guts >] Hey, illegal is not always evil, look at how well Bill Gates is doing. Vasper, keep on hacking, illegal good stuff. Vasper does not need to distribute a hacked BeOSPE, the guy is just trying to share it not losing money! I guess you are confounding Public and Private Law, and thus erroneously identifying breach and prosecution.Īnyway, I wouldn’t call Vasper “a robber”, that’s a grave accusation, he is not making any profit out of BeOSMax. ![]() In Public Law (with few explicit exceptions) once its breach is verified the prosecution must officially take place -ipso facto- (automatically). Breaking the law does not equal to being legally prosecuted, being prosecuted is a consecuence that might follow. ![]() There is Private Law and Public Law, violating a contract -IS- breaking the law, the difference being that the offended private party will choose in due time to proceed or not against the offender, it is dispositive. It doesn’t mean that someone will come and arrest you, but it does mean you can be sued. But legal is not, so far it is a consented de facto situation.īut violating a contract doesn’t mean you broke the law, it means you are open to a lawsuit. ![]() That’s what happened to the Aqua themes at, no money made, no need to.ĭon’t get me wrong, I like and appreciate the effort put into making the BeOSMax (and for the same matter the BeOSDeveloper edition), and I hope you keep on “updating” that way the BeOS (till we have an OpenBeOS or Zeta replacement). Instructions for converting Mac OS X 10.1 update Software to a full install version of Mac OS X-Įven amateur theming is prosecuted by Apple, people who are writing themes and theme editing tools for Mac OSX are getting cease and desist letters from Apple’s lawyers. This may be regarded as an illustrative parallel case with BeOSPersonal edition (it is different, except for a non-authorized modification and distribution beyond the scope of fair personal use): is a bit more bugsy with its IP, they are the kings of Cease&Desists letters. Nothing to fear as long as Palm turns a blind eye.Īpple Computer Inc. However since Vasper is not making any money out of it, that short of IP fraud is of economically-unfeasible prosecution. BeOSMax -is- illegal software, illegally distributed in breach of the BeOSPE license of use. ![]()
