Donations will not be accepted, please donate to Haiku." The name is not final yet, so feel free to add your own proposals.

"Especially since Access, the rightful owner of the BeOS IP, gave Vasper the green light for BeOSMax. "

Because there wasn't a green light until very recently. Before that it WAS illegal. What we have no is a verbal agreement that it is legal but while a verbal agreement is just as legally binding as a written one it's a bit harder to actually prove it.
