rottenpants Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) Just discovered this on the web and i just wanted to give a heads up about this cash grab and if something can be done about this: https://www.macrumors.com/2020/06/13/opencore-hackintosh/ https://opencore.computer/ They are ruining opencore's name and damaging acidenthera's work and the hackintosh community. This is wrong, so wrong... @Download-Fritz @Andrey1970 @vit9696 Edit: Acidenthera's response: Quote We at Acidanthera are a small group of enthusiasts who are passionate about Apple ecosystem and spend time developing software to improve macOS compatibility with different kinds of hardware including older Apple-made computers and virtual machines. For us, who do this on entirely volunteer and uncommercial basis, for fun, it is shocking and disgusting that some dishonest people we do not even know dare to use the name and logo of our bootloader, OpenCore, as a matter of promotion in some illicit criminal scam. Be warned, that we are nohow affiliated with these people and strongly ask everyone by all means to never approach them. Be safe.

blackosx Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 The years of research, knowledge, time and effort put in to OpenCore, Ozmosis and EBL before it are a credit to the dedication of a select few people. To see it ripped off on a commercial level is unethical. Wankers! 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/344159-opencore-being-sold/#findComment-2725660 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex HQuest Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Regardless of the association or not with opencore.computers, it would be wise to post on the acidanthera's README files a disclaimer that you guys are not affiliated with any company (blablabla), just in case clueless lawyers decide to go after files publicly available and cause harm. Aside of being very good (since money can buy a ton of good things, including lawyers), making this clear for even them it is never a bad move. Besides, it is just a few lines that won't mess up with the code. 3 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/344159-opencore-being-sold/#findComment-2725703 Share on other sites More sharing options...
