Seeing as Genesi are giving MorphOS away for free (as in beer) already, I think it would be advantages for them to completely corner the Amiga market by releasing the source under the GPL licence. It would increase adoption of the OS considerably. Maybe a merger with the AROS code?

Is there any legal reason you can't do this BBRV?


Why should they realese the MOS source?
It would be suicide.
But releasing the improvements they might have done to the AROS parts they are using would be a good thing.

MorphOS is fully complying with the AROS-licence, which means they allways released any changes made to the used AROS-
modules and feeded them back to AROS.


Sorry, I didnĀ“t know that.
