I have been seeing some disturbing articles lately, and based on 
previous relations with OpenOSX.com, they may be getting publicity 
that's rightfully ours.  Today I recieved a MacWorld magazine.  The 
macbeat article talked about OpenOSX Office, a CD from OpenOSX with 
Abiword, gnumeric, The Gimp, and Guppi on it, all of which are Fink 
packages.  From what I've seen, they use a very fink looking 
installation in /usr/local/

Additionally, they fail to provide the source code for any of the 
packages they distribute, and some, including the ones listed above, 
they fail to provide any mention at all.  Also without even a web link 
are dlcompat, ghostscript, bonobo, and more.

They are breaking the GPL and the LGPL in more ways in more packages 
than I can count.  Other licenses are potentially also broken.  They 
only provide the GPL on their web site, but they have packages for other 
licenses distributed too.


I need to go somewhere and blow off steam,
Kyle D. Moffett
