To say it has been a drawn out process is an understatement. It has taken some time to get WDC to understand the situation. There has been confusing messages about what the situation is with the EULA, the GPL and what license covers what pieces of code.https://www.davehall.com.au/blog/2010/02/20/western-digital-my-book-world-edition-licensing-and-gpl/Sat, 20 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000https://www.davehall.com.au/blog/2010/02/20/western-digital-my-book-world-edition-licensing-and-gpl/Earlier today I purchased a Western Digital My Book World Edition (MBWE) 1Tb NAS as I needed a simple NAS. The MBWE seemed like a good option, it runs GNU/Linux, it is hackable and there is a bit of a community around it. I got the thing home and started setting it up through the web GUI so I could enable SSH and NFS on it, until I hit the EULA.
