Subject: Analysis of CherryOS and PearPC code

Nice work there.
I think there is alot of commersial programs out there that lend alot
of code from various open source programs (GPL because if they are BSD
then it's allright even for commersial programs to use it).
It's hard to prove because as you say, if you sit and change all
strings you would pretty much get away with it.

We'll see what happends with this.
