    What works: - CPU power management using this kext. Battery life is not great, but I haven't checked what can be done to improve it yet. - USB tethering from an Android phone as a workaround for having Wi-Fi since iOS only allows to do USB tethering with mobile data. If you need it as well, check this kext out. - Hardware acceleration thanks to NootedRed. - iServices. - Built-in speakers. - All USB ports. - HDMI video. - Ethernet. - Keyboard. - Trackpad.

    Open source in a nutshell. [0] Large companies taking open source code and then begging for one developer to maintain it with free support.

    The license of this project is GPL 3 and the companies that are admittedly using his project if found to have internal modifications, are essentially not only free loading but are in breach of the license and also must open source their modifications if they haven't done it already.
