Which Clive is working on, right now, to try and get a repo back up and running, because whatever the rights and wrongs of any of this, the last thing he ever wanted to see was the existing users "punished". The f'wit who gave me the ultimatum about refunding the money he spent on a Wandboard or providing him with a software image, can go to hell, you know who and where I am, I'm waiting for the letter.... and while I cannot take responsibility for refunding each one of you individually for having purchased a Wandboard because of the CS project, the least I can do is keep the repo, (whether it is called the CS repo or not), running, while the my 2 ex-colleagues with busy day jobs and lives, (Saint Triode according to Erland, and John Swenson, the man who can sprinkle the fairly dust on any piece of crap silicon and make it sound like a million bucks, as long as he has designed it to sound good and not just for testing the software), decide if they wish to grow a pair or leave the whole f'ing thing on my shoulders. Or maybe, Erland will jump in, lay his cards on the table, offer to host everything, accept liability for everything, rename CSOS to be ickStream OS, and give you the roadmap for the ickStream hardware player. ;) Krisbee wrote: > Would the creation of such an entity have avoided legal problems?

I really want to answer this, but it is rather a long answer and right now, other things, (getting the repo hosted elsewhere), are more important. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JackOfAll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3069 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99395 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
