Removing “Annoying” Windows 10 Features Is a DMCA Violation, Microsoft Says
The website is down, but yeah, offering customised ISO files with Windows and some tools is clearly a breach of license. You can&#x27;t just take a paid OS distribution, add some config and plonk it onto github.<p>There&#x27;s been people patching and customising Windows for many years, but most of the time that was done in the form of gaining an official ISO, patching it with a program on your computer and then using that to install. With that model the user is the one violating the license, not the distributor, though often these configurations used the official Windows API for OEMs so it was legally grey enough that I&#x27;ve never heard of any lawsuits.<p>If these people just provided an exe and some patch files to turn an official ISO into the same thing as they offered on their website, they&#x27;d likely be in the clear.<p>I&#x27;m not entirely sure what the point of the project is though, loads of pentesting tools only run well on Linux and there&#x27;s plenty of Linux pentesting kits already. Why not just run Kali in a fullscreen virtualbox and be done with it? Or load Kali into WSL2, assuming Microsoft has fixed the hardware access limitations in WSL1?
