OK, all this legal banter is nice and fine, but one thing irks me...
The Mobipocket software is free, I can download it to any of my devices (PC, Mobile Phone) without paying and without signing any special contract (apart from the usual terms of use you click when downloading).
So, what is so different about the Linux version that is running on the Iliad, Gen3 and other devices???
An, who is going to lose anything on this anyway? Mobipocket gains more sales with every device that runs their software (that is why they give it away for free after all I guess...) because people then buy books in mobipocket format...
Well, anyway, it's a moot point since the new firmware won't run on the STAReBOOK anyway...you can't flash regular Cybook updates onto the STAReBOOK withou modifying the firmware file, so I guess this whole discussion is a bit pointless.
