On top of that, when you consider their methods of preventing second usage collects data they have no business collecting and storing for ANY reason, it just seems like an overall bad idea to take a great phone and do something that will only make it marginally better than what can be done with basic cab installs and regedits.
I would think they did it for their own personal use and then decided to be part of a community and share it. Just like all the other contributors do. Donations are nice, but these guys set out from day one to turn a profit with their one phone per person\control freak rule, coupled with the deletion of possible workarounds; that's a bit more than a donation request... As the GodFather would say "it's an offer ya can't refuse".
It's funny they wanna put rules on something that is technically breaking the rules anyway.

Im not sure why you dont plan on having it more then a week, but then why modify it?
Ok well then i guess you are just cheap, and cant be thankful. Maybee you should right your own code then.
