Would be very surprised if Microsoft approved this - it's a legal minefield.

Hehe same. One can hope.

Not exclusively, that slipped past me, sadly . Didnt mean to make a useless thread. Im expecting this can be deleted by a moderator?

 

[Gergolos]

haha, i don't think it's that bad though^^

It's not a pointless thread. There's a legitimate discussion here. Namely, do we really think that Microsoft are going to sanction the distribution of software that is essentially illegal outside of France ?

According to this:

"We've been in touch with Microsoft representatives, who are thrilled about our endeavor and ready to collaborate with us. They are looking into ways of supporting us directly through non-financial matters, notably hardware, technical and design help. This is great news."

the answer to that, mr. Flynn, seems to be "yes".
