AmigaOS 3.1 source code leak - official statement

[Hammer]

Hyperion possess a licence to use the code, Cloanto own the code.

This leak could actually benefit Cloanto and we the community because if developers start modifying and improving parts of the codebase and those changes are posted in the public domain; Cloanto can build binaries of those parts and distribute them.

Free development for a resource constrained company. It's a win-win.
The only loser I can see in this will be Hyperion as it will cost them money to comply with the licence they signed with Amiga Inc to "defend" against any illegal distribution of the source.

FYI, Cloanto sells both AmigaForever 2016 and AmigaOS 4.1 FE Classic.

Yup, I have my NG system also .. it's called Windows 7

Tried the so called NG Amiga ... I'll stick with classic and that NG system I mentioned above :cool:

Let's not even start on the whole copyright crap .. :sealed:

 I also have my NG system... it's called Windows 10 Pro with DirectX12 enabled.

The Pope's Catholic and water is wet.

Your point is?

You are implying a conflict between Cloanto and Hyperion when Cloanto is selling AmigaOS 4.1 FE as an bundle option for Amiga Forever 2016 Plus/Premium package.



I'm running AmigaOS 4.1 FE via AF2016's WinUAE out-of-the-box on my Wintel PCs.
AmigaOS 4.1 FE's $29 USD is cheap and I don't understand the constant hate for Hyperion.
