I think that is a fairly decent anology.
It is possible to re-create everything necessary ...
It is possible to piece together all of the tools and make them work ...
It is possible to use a completely functional (PPCKitchen - just not for the Touch) ...
When you decided that you needed to get to and from a particular destination, did you create a new and unique mode of transportation or did you go out and choose from the available options? (bicycle, motorcycle, automobile, truck)
So, we're all probably a bit lazy, or maybe it's simply being practical or pragmatic ...

If Microsoft says to Wideawake that all images on the ftp must be turned over to them or removed do you think he has to comply? This is because we are not using open source work we are simply changing whats already there.
Now with the customs alot of people take time to figure out how to tweak and add whatever to these roms for their own use mostly however we do share .... So how would you feel if you take the time and make something just to see that your work is being slightly changed and and p***** around ....... Like I said if you can break down a rom then you can build your own this has been discussed in the vogue forum before because this same issue was going on ......
