Is this legal?

youre retarded. it has a license, it has rules, you are not allowed to do “whatever the fuck you want with it”

They're not really secret and yes.

Yes. You can run run Ethernet to a receiver and any HDMI devices that support Ethernet channel will have an Ethernet connection over HDMI

i just thought it was similar to the thing that one guy did that got him 15 months in prison
or am i misunderstanding what the discs are?

Fry's is on the verge of bankruptcy. Rumor has it all stores will be shutdown after Xmas this year.
Not a surprise they are still conning people

Yes, since 1.4. HDMI-HEC. Usually used by Smart TVs.
If you're asking questions about a relatively big retail store like Fry's selling any of these products it's legal, just not ethical.

It's the same thing but it sounds like that guy just got boned by a court that didn't understand what was happening

crazy

thinking about it, whatever software is on that disc might not be the same software that microsoft has that got that dude in trouble

>can't find anything about what software is in this other than the fact it's branded "KTA"

Anti Porn? What's that, like anal?

holy shit open source is literally made by cucks

buy it faggot I want to know what kind of chink malware it is

anal is prime porn

...

why cant one of you faggots buy it? its on their webiste
im hurtin trying to afford a used optiplex over here

>Are they allowed to sell GIMP as a product?
Yes this guy
is correct

Free as in free speech, not free beer.

Now I see why they project "cuck license" so hard.

>blocks domains with known malware
So the someonewhocares hosts file

it was because he used their logo apparently.

That guy was making discs that were knock offs of legit ones.

Knock off doesn't make sense with digital goods. The disc image he used was the exact same as their publicly available one.
You simply are not allowed to redistribute it without permission though.

Good. Fuck Fry's and fuck their credit cards.

i always knew frys was for stupid people

GPL does not ban selling software idiot.

Read the print, says it's recovery disks. For all you know they just find the OEM you have and go to the back looking for one on the website download and burn it to a disk.

You can charge for the MEDIA and BOX, but not the software or activation process. MS has stuff like "authorized recertified seller" licenses and media specifically for this

>72244741
If that's the case, than they better have the source code on that CD. (I think the license is integrated into the software already, so that's not a problem.)

and this, ladies and gentlemen, is how stupid fucking retards end up with malware infested machines.

Permissive "open source" licenses are cucked. Free Software licenses such as GPL however are not.

>there are people on Jow Forums RIGHT NOW who dont have the latest version of Ad-Porn-Web Blocker (TM) installed on their machine
shiggy diggy

would hate to think what kind of absolute cancer that's installed with that.

The license is about distribution rights, and you are allowed to charge for distribution itself but once distributed you must convey the same rights, license, ideally also the source code, as you obtained it.

No wonder Fry's is dying, good riddance.

test

remember that guy who got thrown in jail for making up windows recovery dvd's with the intention of selling them at cost to refurbishers?
this is the same thing, only microsoft is allowed to distribute windows discs/images, even if they aren't licensed
GIMP's license specifically allows free distribution, windows does not

it's not illegal, besides that is a reasonable cost for the medium

you can do anything you want if you have a legally binding agreement with the owner of the IP

Yes, Microsoft.

>Russian flag

maybe u should stop being a snitch

Yes it's legal, just include the source and all that and it's fine.

Linux CD boxes used to be a thing in the 90s.

What's inside these of CD's?

I remember reading an interview with a linux kernel dev from Russia. He was a physicist in a Moscow University, and after USSR collapse they sent to the US a guy, whose main task was to fetch as much software as he could. And he brought back a bunch of junkware (he didn't have a lot of knowledge in terms of programming), gcc and a bunch of linux kernel sources (not all of them, they were restored from a partly written diskette). And soviet spergs actually managed to get a working kernel from it.
Imagine they excitement if they had one of these CDs, lol.
Btw, how much did they cost?

>Btw, how much did they cost?
I can't remember at all.

The first one I got from a school buddy for free, but the 1997 one I bought mail order from some local company. I remember I actually had to send it back because the Debian cd was broken, and that's the one I needed.

I remember buying red hat 3.6 in a box with 3 cds for about 30 bucks at a major french retailer back in the day.

Except no computer has a DVD drive anymore

it's free (as in freedom) so you're allowed to distribute and redistribute it among many other things

Their site's really shitty ktalv.com

in the late 90s early 2000s we used to get linux cds with IT magazines.
oldest i remember was RH 7.0 which was v. good.
for smth like $2 you got a magazine and 2 cds - EE
