[mythtv-users] Commercial releases of MythTV?

[Simon Kenyon]

had a look at the site
they don't mention myth
they do quote the GPL and tell you where to get the source
the source is available for download (6 meg iso containing the source)
they do have this "update over the internet" thing which i would suggest might 
be a good thing to take back into myth
