My post was a factual correction to A6000's statement, and not necessarily a for/against argument. I have no idea if porting would be a simple recompile, or if there would be more work. It wouldn't surprise me if there would have to be at least a few platform-specific tweaks, though.
Incidentally, I don't see why the adverse reaction to A-EON specifically saying that they have the right to distribute Octamed on MorphOS & AROS too (and emulated Amigas). They're at least considering the possibility.

Typically those hooks would have more of an impact on low level stuff vs high level stuff.
However as for the right to distribute it can be viewed in two ways.
A.) Hey look we're willing to support all platforms.
or
B.) Hey look we bought the rights for the other platforms so that it cannot be ported by anyone.
Which one it is I don't claim to know. However each user will make up their minds as to which one they think it is.
I know it's common in this community for people to claim that AROS users are cheap and not willing to pay for anything. Well it's hard to argue with that since there has been next to nothing "commercial" available for AROS to prove otherwise.
