I think the term to hack an app scares people due to the use of the word Hacking being turned into a term to mean breaking into systems. Ok before anyone starts I know netfront went totally overboard. Effectively the software is exactly the same. Just re-directing a call to use an OS component. ![]() Effectively, IMHO anyway, changing the name of a DLL file belonging to the OS that the software calls is not actually altering the software. I am not talking letter of the law here but what I feel would be closest interpretation to the activity they are trying to stop. If you, however, are using a cracked version and have hacked maps that are not payed for I see that as a diffrent thing altogether. ![]() Not sure all that many companies (at least ones with techy people in control ) would view a minor change to make it run on hardware that will result in revenue for the maps would really be that upset. I think most companies see that as a rule to stop people producing new software based on their work or stealing their code, making software running without paying for it etc.
