Forgive me, but I am little confused about this PLEX platform that LG will now also be incorporating.

The interface appears to be XBMC running Mediastream Redux.

Is this simply a commercial organization cherry picking features from a FREE & OPEN SOURCE platform and now integrating it into their own product line without any credit having been given to the XBMC team??

So they will be marketing this as THEIR IDEA and garnering huge profits from it??

Many clueless consumers who are none the wiser and had never heard of XBMC might end up thinking that LG has pulled off a great coup over their competitors. And speaking of competitors, what is to stop any other AV manufacuturer from "tweaking" their own version and calling it their own.

This is the aspect of "Open Source" that I have never quite really understood. I am an integrator and in the AV field. I am not from the pooter/IT World.

How exactly did this "PLEX" media server all come about? ((The simple quick and dirty version if anyone would be so kind)) Wink

EDIT...

Here is a link to some PLEX PR which I find totally misleading...
