If bundling LINUX freeware/open source into a unique set and selling it for the value added of that particular bundling is legal (a la Red Hat), then (as long as the emulator is appropriately credited to netkas) how is the bundling of netkas' emulator with the rest of that software any different?
As I understand it, the whole idea of open source is to promote technological advancement and mitigate the negative influences of the patent and copyright systems currently in place; as well as break the monopolies held by Big I.T. (M$, Apple, etc). Commercialization, when it spreads beyond a few of the big guys, actually helps in this regard.
