ROMs mit WM6.5 bzw. MS3 (illegal???)

[DeKarle1992]

Hallo Leute!

Habe mich grade gewundert wie das bei den ROMs mit WM6.5 oder MS3 eigentlich funktioniert? Dazu hab ich ein paar Fragen:

1. Ist WM6.5 kostelos?
2. Ist WM6.5 eigentlich nur eine BETA?

3. Ist MS3 im Doedelux ROM als registrierte Version eingekocht? (das wäre doch illegal?!)

Beim neuen Manila is das doch das gleiche. In den neuen customROMs überall drin, aber offiziell nur auf den neuen HTC Devices verfügbar. Das da einfach rauszurippen und auf ein Touch HD zu flashen ist doch illegal oder nicht?

Danke schonmal,
Felix

Also MS3 ist bei den in dem Forum hier angebotenen Roms ne Trial Version, den Rest kann ich dir leider auch nicht beantworten

Wurde hier mehrmals angesprochen: Ist eher eine Grauzone... Im Doedelux rom ist es natürlich keine Vollversion von ms3. Es ist eine Trial die man freischalten kann.
Es gibt dieses inofizielle agreement:

According to tweakers.net (dutch), a very popular and more important, trustworthy Dutch IT website.

XDA-Developers (And thus also Duttythroy.net) breaches intellectual property laws regarding ROM Cooking.

However Microsoft and HTC both agree "We can't live with 'em and we can't live without 'em."

Microsoft will not send take down orders to sites such as XDA-Developers, who offer customized ROMs for windows-mobile telephone.

Some sites offering ROMs based on Windows Mobile 6.5 got take down orders last week. They, However, appeared to be hoax.

“Taking action against sites such as XDA-Developers isn’t a matter of concern for Microsoft” says Maarten Sonneveld of Microsoft Netherlands against tweakers.net. “What happens there, the modifying of ROMs, is illegal. The intellectual property however is not with us. The ROMs are intellectual property of the producers of the phone or the mobile phone providers if it concerns branded telephones. We simple only deliver the OS.”



The biggest producer of Windows Mobile-phones, HTC, also says they don’t have any plans to take action against ROM sites. “What happens there isn’t allowed” says HTC Benelux-CEO Mark Moons,

“But XDA-Developers is the biggest and most active community of Windows Mobile-developers. We can’t live with ‘em and we can’t live without ‘em.”



Last week it seemed there were to come an end to tolerating Windows Mobile-communities.



A certain ‘James Young’ sent emails on behalf of Microsoft to site managers in which he stated that they were sharing illegal content, and summoned them to stop their practices; some site managers, in fact, did this.

It mostly concerned ROMs with betas of Windows Mobile 6.5, the update of Microsoft’s Mobile OS that should appear this summer.



The email of Young appeared, however, to be a hoax.

Microsoft denied against XDA-Developers that the summoning came from them, they also say that the email address is incorrect and that summons such as these always are sent by written letters instead of email. Not so long ago someone with the exact same email address and name sent the same kind of emails to sites that, according to him, placed illegal content for the Xbox. The Pirate Bay also received a message by ‘James Young’ in the past.

Aside from this: a funny fact is that recently Arne, when he still was on our team, contacted Microsoft and HTC concerning this very issue as we were wondering the legal status of sharing ROMs.

He however didn't receive any clear answer even though he called a zillion times and emailed to infinity, twice.

Es ist zur Zeit übrigens nicht möglich irgendwie eine Lizenz ur für winmo zu kaufen. Sprich man braucht immer auch ein neues gerät (korrigiert mich wenn es anders ist)

Genialer Beitrag vielen Dank!
Ich versteh zwar nur die Hälfte es leuchtet aber dennoch ein.
