Hello my friends,

Cheers,

That's what we call illegal.

Well, you, yourself don't use it!
It makes no difference to use cvs or this version! Transgaming is giving cvs version out freely to just test his own software...And in this war we are victims..we test it and we report its bugs and we correct it then again we must pay for it! What a foolish logic! Linux is world of freedom...
And do you know distributing Xine is also illegal? (mp3 and mp4 and divx decoding...)
Think about it..
Cheers,

First off, those weren't obtained from CVS, those are the actual packages pirated from Transgaming, which is illegal.

Secondly, distributing packages created from CVS (to my knowledge at least) isn't legal, or at least, frowned upon.

Thirdly, just because Linux "should be free" doesn't make pirating OK. There is no war, there aren't any victims. They're making software, and in this case, they're expecting payment. Sure, you can claim this is bad, considering all the problems they had with WINE's creators and how little (and by little I mean none) they contributed back to the source tree, but that doesn't change the fact that obtaining what they sell, for free, from someone else, is illegal.

Finally, distributing Xine isn't illegal, the codecs, may or may not be allowed to be distributed, but the program itself is 100% legal unless it is packaged with said codecs.

Hey, don't post such an off topic texts here again (we can chat together seperately) .
I don't agree with you at all...you are just evading!
I don't know whether you are from trangaming company or not...any way your way is not logical...
Any way Cheers!

Transgaming is giving out the CVS version to conform with requests of the community, not for testing (although that's a good bonus). The binary versions of Cedega have features that the CVS version can't have because the features are proprietary. I'm not sure you'd like it if we provided a link to a full version of software you made and wanted paid for.

i'm not going to bother trying to determine the legality of this,
