Lindows CEO funds Xbox hacking contest (News.com)
News.com 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.""
