Thats ok. If he doesn't want to release it then I will release it.  If you dont believe that I hacked your bios then pm me...Ill show you some proof.  Ubernerd and x2boob Im gonna give you guys a choice. Either release the code OR allow users to edit in there own logo in your next bios release OR I will release your bios for others to tear apart.

And you'll notice that Ubergeek went back and edited all of his posts, although most of them were quoted by others.

While not trying to be a dick, this doesnt make sense to me.....
The original code was released under the GPL, so even if the code was used verbatim, xecuter would still be required to release its software under the GPL, would it not?

I fail to see the "usefullness" meaning anything.

EDIT: now that you have edited your post, my last line might not make such sense to others, but so be it.
And I fail to see what is "gay" about a question.

cool.gif You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.

c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)


3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

cool.gif Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.

QUOTE (Ubergeek @ Nov 17 2003, 12:55 PM)
no as we made no changes to the hack - we simply converted it to C

credits were given - if you want the lba48 source its out there and available to use for yourselves

I don't think that is enough. From my understanding the updated sources should remain under the GPL and thus be distributed. Any news on this?

I won't quote from the GPL as a basic link to the license was met with hostility.

the xecuter team created derivitive code from an open source code.  That open source code is distributed under the GPL.  By not releasing it, they are violating the GPL.  Regardless of how they phrase it, they derived their code from GPL'd code, and put it out there.  They are not taking credit, but that's not the point in question.  The GPL states you MUST RELEASE THE CODE.  Plain and simple if you ask me.

its all wrapped up in none GPL stuff i.e. MS code

i could easily rls the bios with no lba48 - you patch it with xbtool and youll get the same result so this conversation really is pointless

But which did you do?
Write your own LBA48 code, or use oz_paulb's?

QUOTE
perhaps you should be shouting at the guys making custom cromwell codes and not releasing the sources.

that is not what is being asked about

"being anal" is of course reducing this to name calling and more or less shows the lack of maturity on the side of the X2 guys.  No-one doubts that they are very smart individuals(I couldn't do the stuff they do) but using phrases like "being anal" shows that they care little about much more than their egos.
