Since the OS is closed source the term "open Amiga" is an oxymoron.  BSD, Linux, Haiku and AROS are open.  You want an Open Amiga then release the source code and let us work with it.

An Open (source) Amiga could be ported to the hardware of choice by those interested in doing so.  The best open source model is the one that developed in Linux.  Use that model.  Hyperion could serve in the role that Canonical does in Linux.  Merge Open Amiga and AROS.

If they put AmigaOS on hardware I could afford, I'd be happy to contribute. Until then, I won't waste my time... or money... :)

Technically Hyperion have no right to "Open Amiga" only "Open AmigaOS"

Since HYperion have and own the code, how can you have an Open source AmigaOS without them?

I'm pretty sure somebody already pointed out above that the openamiga.org is  independent of Hyperion.

It's profoundly silly to talk about an Open Amiga without actually opening up AmigaOS!  What's open, the case cover?

It seems that you have only read titles ;) This is not about Amiga OS, it is about other software and help

Someone else pointed out "Open Amiga" was about open source Amiga OS, but someone grabbed the domain and repurposed it....
