Actually, neither AmigaForever or AmigaOne satisfy the EULA of AmigaOS 3.9, which states that AmigaOS must be installed on the system when it is bought on order for you to be able to install OS 3.9.


If that's true, then I can't install OS3.9 on my Amiga 1200--it didn't come with an OS pre-installed. :-/

Quick note about piracy: In the United States, violating the terms of a valid license agreement is not necessarily copyright infringement. Emulation of hardware to run properly licensed software is definitely legal (Sony v. Connectix being the landmark case), and running properly licensed software on emulated hardware is protected fair use. So, whether or not Amiga's EULA restricts the use of their software to specific hardware is irrelevant. That portion of the license agreement would not be enforceable.
