Well, in the end, I own a mac, It's not breaking any agreement or anything for me wanting to run it. All that the qubes-os developers are doing is putting the availability for those that have a MAC and want to run one piece of hardware instead of 4 to do so without an issue. There is no infringment on any agreement or lisencing there or anything because they would already own a Mac. If people decide to use it for the wrong purposes, then that is not the fault of Qubes-OS. Qubes-OS and developers should not be the judge, jury, and executioner for this. We can run Windows on a Mac if we have Qubes on the Mac, so why not the other way around? For Windows people use Illegal Lisence Keys and cracks and all, but that is THEIR issue, not the manufacturer of the hardware. The patch for Qubes 3.0 would work fine, jsut have to put it into 3.1 / 4.0 and get it working again. I own a Mac, I want to run MacOSX on Qubes on my PC which is much much more powerful than my Mac. And that way I could also have multiples. I could have one that I use for this, one for that, and another for another. I own a Mac, I want to run OSX, I want to run it under Qubes. I'm not doing anything wrong. If people choose to do it wrong, then that is their fault, not Qubes. Qubes wouldn't be saying that people can use it to have MacOSX if they don't have a Mac, but you would just be allowing those that have a Mac to run OSX on their PC. You are not responsible for those that do things illegally. Please, add it in and get it working, it would be most beneficial to have a SECURE operating system for OSX as well as windows and other variants of Unix. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
