I've always wondered this, but never bothered to ask anybody.

Most current modchips come flashed with some form of a Linux Cromwell BIOS, usually "FlashBIOS". This is completely legal and it is the reason why modchips can be sold. Am I correct?

Now, the thing that would make a modchip illegal is if it was preflashed with an illegal / hacked BIOS because it contains copyrighted MS code. Am I correct?

Therefore, wouldn't it make sense to say that Aladdin and DuoX 2 chips (the blue ones) are illegal? I have always found this interesting.

In the end you should ask a lawyer who will be able to give you a definite answer.

Closed like all the other legality topics.
