perhaps illegal is too finite a term.. maybe its more akin to the local Womens Institute discussing the latest bombmaking methods. not illegal in the absolute sense but not a million miles miles away from the 'Incitement to Terrorism' legislation...

FWIW, i am not likely to cook my own ROM without some form of hands on workshop - maybe at the next gathering there could be a 'How To' done in groups of half a dozen or so that people could see the process of how to manipulate their own devices.


encece - I'm pretty sure you are wrong, as we will be breaking the EULA/lincencing on WM to decompile it. Whether its ours or not.

I think Paul is trying to draw a line in the sand, and, as I don't agree with where the line is, I'm always gonna be against the idea.

I don't see how you can say "we'll its illegal but its ok because its good for Modaco people". XDA's roms are amazing pieces of work. They've improved by M3100 no end. How is this different to your mods?

I'm not for one minute saying we should link to ROMs - but we should be completely open in terms of discussion - and if people wanna discuss WMBlack, then let them - providing they dont link.

The other reason I am against it is because ROMs are device specific and we just dont have the experts here. I'd prefer the 2 to be kept seperate so Pau; can concentrate on modaco

We don't have the experts here? Not sure that's the case... and besides, beginners become experts, and current experts will talk about their expertise wherever there are appropriate places...

My previous post was cut short by my train ariving at my stop!
You might be right but to become experts most will want to delve deeper and cross the line. It is, of course, your choice but my personal preference is to keep the two areas completely seperate so people know where they stand.

I think its all or nothing.

Either way, regardless of the number of mods, it will be impossible to impose rule on such a grey area. All full discussion (but no links), or not at all.
