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.

As I said cool down. Of course we don't need to compare anything. An email about a problem would compare with everything. A google search to find what you want would solve a lot of misunderstandings.
Expressing an opinion as how a distro should be made is valid, but understand no one can take into account the wants and needs of 1000 different people and keep them all happy. Heck as US President Bush said "I even disagree with my self sometimes". I am just glad he is not as smart to use BeOS...

Have those guys that attack my work given a dollar to Haiku? (...) Did those guys complaining about bloated FREE Max ever put out a penny for original software?
What on earth does this have to do with anything? I don't think I even need to defend myself here.
- I think he is saying that its free, you don't have to use it, theres other stuff available
And everyone is getting onto you, because calling it $hitware was waaaaaaaay out of line. If you think it is, then you can at least have the decency to put it into more civilized terms.

Well, I didn't call it "$shitware", that was someone else. Be careful with such accusations.

I'm not interested making any enemies in this lovely and friendly community. I hope you don't misunderstand my intentions. But we need to be able to talk about things like this without needing to compare our possesion of BeOS Software, donation status or how much/how long we've been using BeOS.
