Zeta was illegal! magnussoft/yellowTAB never had a license but distributed a rebranded BeOS 5. After a years long drama they eventually ceased operation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnussoft_ZETA#Criticism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnussoft_ZETA#Criticism Excerpt from Wikipedia article: "Zeta had no legal rights to distribute the BeOS software, much less open source any of it, as the rumours had it. [...] The main reason that there hasn't been a public statement previously is that dealing with this matter legally, in Germany, is an expensive undertaking and--given the apparently small amount of funding behind Zeta in its various incarnations--we'd only be in a position to spend significant money and legal time to make a point. [...] We have sent "cease and desist" letters to YellowTab on a number of occasions, which have been uniformly ignored. If Herr Korz [Bernd Korz, Former CEO of yellowTAB] feels that he holds a legitimate license to the BeOS code he's been using, we're completely unaware of it, and I'd be fascinated to see him produce any substantiation for that claim.” — David Schlesinger, Director, Open Source Technologies.
