  3. I've just had a "Chat" with Synology Support. This is the log of what was talked about: Nnaemeka Ogbonna Hello Bhups. How may I help you? Bhups Hello. Would it be possible to let me know of the software Xpenology is illegal and if so why would it be so. if you do not know, Xpenology is a port of Synology. Nnaemeka Ogbonna Please give me a moment to verify Thanks for the wait, it's illegal, it violates our DSM licensing policy Please let me know if you have any other questions Bhups Could you advise how it violates the policy i've been reading and Synology is licensed under GPL Nnaemeka Ogbonna when you buy a NAS, the price includes a DSM license. when you install xpenology on a pc, you install it without a license. so it's illegal to use DSM without a license, just like it's illegal to use windows without one Bhups thank you for the clarification Nnaemeka Ogbonna you're welcome
  4. Hello, I've tried to dig around for an answer to whether the use of Xpenology on a Non-Synology Hardware is illegal or not and cannot come to a definitive place with an answer to this question. https://remonpel.nl/2017/06/synology-nas-software-non-synology-hardware/ - This website quotes Synology as follows: However, I do not see anything actually from a reliable source (preferably from the company itself). Has anyone had any update from somewhere which actually states this to be true? Also if it was illegal, why would it be so?
