Morph OS license questions

[kolla]

As long as that restriction exists I'm not going to invest in MorphOS again.

Same here. If I cannot buy a license that gives me rights to install it on whatever hardware I decide myself, then I'm simply not interested in buying it at all.

[kolla]

Actually the opposite, it is suggested you sell the hardware with the Morphos license.

And if he wants to keep the hardware to run OSX, Linux, *BSD or whatever?

This licensing scheme is just bullocks, plain and simple.

[kolla]

Crack it.

Not worth it.
UAE on proper hardware runs in circles around it anyways.

[kolla]

Rather academic and unlikely.

Excuse me? That is not unlikely for me and the people I surround myself with, I have yet to sell any computer that I've bought. And there's nothing desperate about running NetBSD on an old G4, stop being an arse.

[kolla]

Well, use whatever excuses you like. At the end of the day, the license issue is the final straw for quite a few of us. And, OS4 is not tied to the hardware.

[kolla]

Literally not, but in practise it is in the cases many have said here against MorphOS's policy.

Not at all. With OS4 I can easily replace hardware as I'm pleased without having to send any documentation about anything to anyone.

[kolla]

The MorphOS2.x licensing model is not ideal from the users POV, but no one has come up with an alternative model that is better and still provides an equal amount of protection against piracy for the Dev. Team.

Who would pirate MorphOS? Is there really that much interest? I doubt it.
