[QUOTE="Sharkadder, post: 510068, member: 193449"] who is gpl gemini project? It's part of the boot loader that is licenced by DMM, they don't give out all the source code to the firmware creators anyways, just the majority of it. To be fair i think somebody has been looking on a famous wiki site, but not all of the content is allowed to be modifed, some thing's are still attached to a licence. I'm not entirely sure if when Dbox went out of business that they just allowed DMM to work off their stuff without any bother. I guess it's abit like the ROM file's in an old amiga, you can download the game off the net and play them if you own a copy yourself but the actual boot ROM is still licenced under amiga, so in order to play the game's you need this boot rom. But obviously using the boot rom without it being in an amiga itself is illegal. Simular principle, to use a firmware you need to use the DMM boot. [/QUOTE]
