CherryOS to Go Open Source
After initially announcing that its product was put on hold indefinitely, the makers of CherryOS posted a note Wednesday saying that, "Due to Overwhelming Demand, CherryOS Open Source Project, Launches 5.1.2005." CherryOS is a Mac emulator for PCs that allows the user to run Mac OS X in a Windows environment.
As reported last month by BetaNews, CherryOS caused a stir after the programmers of the open source Mac emulator PearPC claimed the code behind the program was stolen. Public scrutiny, as well as tests by BetaNews, seemed to confirm PearPC's suspicions, although Arben Kryeziu, creator of CherryOS, has denied any similarity.
