Our clone box recognition mechanism caused large waves in the last days and many opinions have been told to us. On the one hand there have been the enraged owners of clone, who had to install their addons manually now without Blue panel. Then there have been the people who simply did not understand Linux and the GPL and accused us of GPL-breach. Also a financial dependence or support from Dream Multimedia and or sponsors was subordinated to us. 
 
On the other hand there have been over 1500 users of our forum who singned our explanation. 
 
All in all our action was accepted very positively and we achieved our intended goal to give an impulse the owners of clone boxes. There have also been cases in which people who thought they owned a genuine Dreambox noticed because of this action that they are owners of a clone box. Too our own surprise according to unconfirmed messages, now one of the manufacturer changed over to supply their own images. 
 
Recapitulatory we note, it was never our intention to insert a waterproof recognition and to get in a Cat-and-mouse game between us and the box manufacturer. Our intension was to push a general discussion to create a consciousness on the clone and reproduction problem and to disasociate us from the clones, too. In the context of our possibilities as image developer we have used the one and only available possibility to make our point of view clear. As image-developer we have absolutly no influence on sponsors, dealers or Dream Multimedia. Our influence on the persons and companies involved in this relationship is very limited and lacked also on support from some places. In any case we get attention on our displeasure and we did not send newsletters of our sponsors containing information about clones. We will keep this in the future. 
 
As we all are Dreambox fans we would like to say clearly, that it is in the exclusive responsibility of Dreammultimedia to proceed against clones. Only DMM has the possibilities (e.g. legal) which might be the only effective method against clones. 
 
For us as Gemini developer and operators of the IHAD this action is now finished. With the upcoming release 4.3.1 of the Gemini Project the clone recognition will be deactivated. We nevertheless ask everyone to use its influence to proceed against clones.  
 
我们包含在4.3版里的防抄版机认证系统在过去的几天里掀起了不小争议。那些无法通过蓝色面板而只能手动安装插件的抄版机用户愤怒的指责我们。这导致了使用上的不方便。另外一些不懂得自由软件开放协议（GPL）的人指责我们违反了GPL协议。还有人怀疑这次反制是我们受dm正版机制造商指使所为。 
 
然而与此同时，超过1500个用户在我们的论坛上签名支持我们的行动。 
 
我们这次针对抄版机的行动已造成其深刻影响，使抄版机用户认识到他们正在使用的DM并非正版，这达到了我们的目的。让我们惊讶的是，有未确认消息说已有（抄版机）厂商开始考虑制作自己的dm固件。 
 
简单的讲，在固件中加入认证系统并非我们本意，我们也不想加入生产厂商间的猫捉老鼠的游戏。我们的本意是发起一次讨论，能够使大家意识到抄版机的问题并规劝人们远离抄版机。实际上，我们对生产商，广告商的影响微乎其微。然而作为固件的开发者，这次行动已是最好的表达我们这个观点的方式。 
 
同时作为DM机的爱好者我们认为，打击抄版机是正版厂商的责任（而非我们的）。因此对于我们这些开发者来说，这次提醒大家意识到抄版机问题的行动已经结束了，因此在4.3.1版的Gemini固件中我们关闭了抄版机识别系统，但我们仍然希望大家能够抵制抄版机。
