[QUOTE="80sman, post: 26605, member: 14145"] Hi Pieroxy, I'm totally in favour of GPL software and all it stands for and I would hate to see the day when mediaportal became anything else. I see now what you are saying about repackaging, I would of thought that within that licence agreement there would be a clause that would say "you must modify or change slightly this product before selling it on in what I believe to be a misleading manner. But I guess theres not. I've not looked into it that thouroughly. I find it irksome that someone can sell something as something it's not and then waive all responsibilty for it. I still maintain that trading standards have a case against the seller for misrepresnting what he's selling but it's only a very small detail and I don't really beleive for a second that you could make a case out of it. What narks me is not that he's making money out of somebody else's hard work, that happens all over the world and is the nature of business. What annoy's me is that here is somebody who is taking advantage of the less well informed and the people who aren't really that computer literate. It's taking advantage of the innocent (and also I agree the stupid/lazy people, but they'll lose they're money whatever happens), I wish there was some form of protecting them.
