Your offer to 'transform the notebook into an apple leopard 10' meant what, exactly? Put GNOME on top of Darwin, and call it Mac OS Leopard? Also, where is this 'hackintosh' distribution?

Mac OS X is build on MACH 3.0 and FreeBSD 5 MACH 3.0, requires both a 4.3BSD license (Apple has one because of they're A-UX project years ago) and a MACH license (from Cernegie Mellon Univercity -- which they have because they bought NextSTEP). http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/project/mach/public/FAQ/license.info FreeBSD is BSD licensed and as a result completely free system. http://www.freebsd.org/copyright/freebsd-license.html As you can see there is no GPL encumbered code in the kernel/initial userland and therefore there is no "must give away" anything. Also the GPL is not a copyright it is a license. Two susinctly different things. > so there is Darwin if you look at > http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource > it show all the Leopards including the 10.5.6 (source code)... > I did not see any restriction of use, for darwin, (well may be a commercial > use???) Darwin is well Darwin, "Leopard" is a userland codebase that sits ontop of Darwin x.y.z For more details : http://www.opensource.apple.com and http://www.opensource.apple.com/apsl/ > If you start with a binary version > (http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/images/darwinx86-801.iso.gz) > please note that it comes from the apple site... > and download the last one, with some work (in reality a lot) you will > end with a Leopard (TM) without apple marks... Please see above commentary,... you will not end up with "Leopard" you will land up with a Leopard-like Darwin. > I do not think this is ilegal, and I am not playing warez. Perfectly legal so long as you're not hacking/compiling a cracked/stolent Aqua user interface onto you're Darwin. > In fact I am doing the same thing with opensolaris... > get opensolaris (binary), then get the sources (from sun) and compiling the > gnome 2.24 on top of it > may be the final product be called hacklaris Why not just start with an OpenSolaris and update it???

None of this makes ANY sense,... I use many different Unices professionally and see no real stability differences with Flash (maybe I just set it up differently???) As for the virtualization VirtualBox and Xen are cross platform so I don't know where you're going there? Solaris Zones are cool, but essentially replacable with BSD jails of Linux virtual servers (not virtualized servers mind).

Sometimes those cages (which I dont like either) provide nice manuals/courses/user interfaces that less technical people prefer.

It's important to distinguish between Darwin, the kernel on which OS X is based, and the full OS X suite which includes the Quartz graphics engine and Aqua user interface. It's only the latter which is restricted to Apple hardware. As long as the Hackintosh project isn't using any of the restricted software, there shouldn't be any license violation. But frankly, once you give up the things that give OS X its "pretty face", you might as well install FreeBSD instead. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
