A new development in the Zeta legality issue: BeOSFrance says to have written confirmation from Jean-Louis Gassee that to JLG's knowledge, YellowTAB did not have an agreement with Palmsource [French]. My French isn't exactly what it should be (I should've paid more attention during high school), but with the help of Adam and others we managed to translate the most important bit: "The impropriety and absence of an agreement between yellowTAB and PalmSource (at the time, still the owner of the BeOS IP) had been confirmed to me in writing by the person best-placed to talk about it in those circumstances: Jean-Louis Gassee."

and read few postings around yellowtab and Zeta. They reminded me of BeOS NG (pre-ZETA) which supposed to be developed based on the BeOS 5 PE with many other additions, and Bernd claimed that he got the rights to distribute (maybe he thought that way from the unofficial we-dont-care comments from Palm or ACCESS or something, i guess) But suddenly, he started to work on BeOS Dano instead of BeOS PE and claimed that he got the rights to do it. funny, isn't it? any idea?
