A Ready-Made MythTV Set-Top Box in Australia 263
Anonymous Coward writes "Australian Personal Computer magazine published a review of a new all-in-one set-top-box based on linux.
A quick analysis of the device yields some cheats/hacks that not only allow you to enable the advertisment skipping feature they disabled, but could allow system compromise.
The system also runs a GPL version of MythTV - anyone else see any licensing issues?" Only if they don't follow the GPL.

OTOH, this is an Aussie site, perhaps Bruce was just a few tubes of Fosters over his bating average.

I'm really upset that they are commercializing the GPL. Jeez. But, actually, if they do decide to commercialize the GPL, I hope they use GTK because it's commercial friendly and then don't have to open the source. Which makes me angry 'cause they are not sharing their source with anyone. Why won't they open their source? What do they think this is? M$-land?
Some people.
