For the first time in its 7 years of existence, some decent statement has been released concering the legality of Zeta. Access, the current owner of Be, Inc.'s IP, states: "We have sent 'cease and desist' letters to YellowTab on a number of occasions, which have been uniformly ignored. 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." Update: Bernd Korz has replied on his blog.

There was always choice in that, and blaiming someone's work (with doing nothing byself - even to clarify situation for self) is not that best way to behave.
I don't think you know anything about what I've done in this manner. I haven't made my own distro, your right about that!
In Haiku "patches" won't be an excuse to say that distros is a good thing - in my eyes they aren't. Haiku is collaborative work. Everyone making distros won't help a thing. And why do people feel the need to make distros? Distros seems in my eyes somewhat narcissistic. I'm not saying Vasper is. It may be that he maintains BeOS Max to help people out trying BeOS, and he should be honored for that.
