I'm confused, what where they trying to do before GPL? where they trying to keep it closed source?

They used open source code, without including the license or info that they were using that code, in their bootable USB maker.

They accidentally violated the license agreement.

LOL - was that really an accident?

Actually, likely, because there was zero chance that they wouldn't get caught.

I'm going to say yes, just an oversight on their part.

This is some cool stuff the more you think about it. No longer do you need a $300-400 thin client (you didn't really before anyway but). This can do multiple other things locally and still give you RDP and NX abilities, which are pretty much all you need.

Here's a good review of the Jide UltraTablet... If you were on the edge like me and need a little push, there's a link at the end of the article to get it for $250.

I just put my order in for it today.
