I think I might have misunderstood the original site some. Synology open sources their OS right? I thought they were pretty much ok with this whole thing (afterall, they're the ones publishing their source code)?
I was going to buy additional camera licenses for the Xpenology setup I just recently put together, but if Synology isn't ok with this whole thing (and they can tell by the serial number who's using one of their boxes and who's using this software) that probably wouldn't be such a good idea would it? (since they can blacklist the additional camera license at any time from a forum post I saw elsewhere)
Down the road I was even thinking if I bought a simpler to manage, packaged Synology unit (build it yourself does require a bit more work on an ongoing basis) that I could transfer the camera licenses over - but again, if they can just blacklist them at any time, and they're not ok with all this then the risk of losing the licenses probably means it wouldn't be a good idea to do right now.
