There's no sure-fire way to silence software modders, so you might as well work with them. That seems to be the idea Samsung had with a group of phone hackers.

Four members of the CyanogenMod software team on Monday received Galaxy S II smartphones in the mail, direct from the company at no charge.

“All four of us involved in the porting process for the first Galaxy S received a new phone,” CyanogenMod team member Kolja Dummann told Wired.com in an interview.
