OPENOSX is a con, just like the MacGIMP people. Basically selling GNU software, and forcing you to compile it yourself otherwise. Someone showld make free binarys of all this stuff and host them for free.

Have you ever tried to configure Bochs 2.0.2 on OS X?  I, for one, am definitely in favor of not having to do that myself!

It's not that, it's the idea that they are basically capitalizing on something that should basically be free. They shouldn't charge for it simply because they created a front end (a rather trivial pice of programming really).

If you have used Bochs for OS9, you will have a more userfriendly configuration system, and you don't have to pay for it.

Well look at it from this perspective.  When people come in here and ask how one can expect to make money off of GPL'd software?  This is a very good example.  And it requires no developer side support (which is usually how GPL'd software makes money)

Zombie9920:
But when people try to make $$$ off of GPL software you have people scream bloody murder because the software isn't free. That is exactly why the Open Source model isn't practicle to software makers and game makers(real, established companies that write software...not your typical basement geek programmer).

Isn't it legal to distribute GPL'ed software to your buddies for free(even if you initially had to buy the software)?
