Uhh, this was a user contributed skin, not an official SageTV skin. Also, see the release post: http://forums.sagetv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10715

Khris, Mlbdude fully acknowleges that he didn't create the images. What is the point of removing the logo? To me, that would look like he's trying to hide something, which he is not.
Do you represent the MediaPortal project? If not, move on, you're not proving anything.

Khris, the MediaPortal Project is Open Source, released under the GNU/GPL license. Mlbdude can do whatever he wants with those images so long as he isn't trying to take credit for them. He is not, so there is nothing wrong with it.

If you'd actually look at the forums, you'd notice that people have always said that they would take it down if the theme designers wanted them to.
Plus, like KJake said, they are GPL'd, there's not a whole lot to argue about.

Seems to me that Khris just found out that a better app then Media Portal existed and was mad that he'd have to pay to use it! I've tried Media Portal (not recently though) and it sucked. Aside from crashing all the time, you had to open a different app to configure stuff.
I did see another post that he made trying to say that MP was the best PVR app. Free doesn't equal best - in fact it's probably not even in the top 10 (including linux apps).

The MP logo is there for many reasons. 1. It looks cool. 2. I in no way claim to have made the images and that makes it obvious. 3. The MediaPortal project, developers, and contributers deserve all the PR they can get for all the hard work that goes into it.

Yeah. I'm a big fan of the Media Portal project. I've always considered the Blue 2 MP skin to be far superior to any SageTV skin. I also highly prefer MP as a media center.
I highly prefer SageTV for PVR and especially ATSC support. I love the MP based Sage skins because they really help the WAF because she prefers MP too. I freely admit that as soon as MP gets the PVR aspect for ATSC to a point where I can use it as intuitively and easily as Sage, then I will probably migrate over to MP exclusively. Until then, I have no problem with the money I spent to purchase SageTV's fine product. I am active in the MP community and am a member of the testing team for ATSC for the MP project with different ATSC cards. I do not have a problem with the MP themed skins. Imitiation is the sincerest form of flattery and all that...
