What does Unraid offer over Xpenology? Synology is perfect as a NAS. If you want NAS+ general server, you are better off separating the two.

  Despite what you might read online, Xpenology is illegal pirated software. Last time this came up: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25621753 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25621753

    That link didn't seem very conclusive. What license is Synology distributed under? Only one I found was the GPL3.

      It's proprietary software. They release the source for any of the licensed components that they use that require source to be made available. Just like Apple does for OS X at https://opensource.apple.com/releases/ https://opensource.apple.com/releases/ The fact that such downloads exist does not mean that the synology software is open source. Anyone who says otherwise is lying or misinformed.
