I forget now just where I read or heard it, but IIRC the "dongle" is just a series of PEEKs in AOS4, where it reads parts of the PPCBoot ROM to check that it is running on the right hardware. So AOS4 won't run without its PPCBoot ROM.
MorphOS probably won't run directly on an A1 (Alan said at WOASE that it can't boot on the different hardware), but no doubt someone, someday, will patch MOS to run on the A1 hardware/PPCBoot ROM.
I'm sure that both OSes will be patched to run on each other's hardware ev-en-tu-al-ly (in Manuel voice). You don't have to steal SW or break copyrights to do that.
