talks with
Michael Robertson about his role in hacking the Xbox. "
Robertson
confirmed the SourceForge posting in an interview Thursday with CNET
News.com, saying he funded the contest not for business goals but to
promote open access to technology. "There is no business justification;
that's not why I did it," he said. "I did it because I thought people
should have the choice to run the software they want on the hardware of
their choice...I don't think when you buy a car, they should be able to
tell you what brand of gas to put in it.""
