AROS using Amiga code?

[DonnyEMU]

Who the hell said something like that to you. AROS, is written from scratch and in my humble opinion better than anything the official "REAL" AmigaOS has came up with.

No more Bptrs for AmigaDOS, devices and the unique way they are done on AROS alone and it's hardware abstraction layer puts it in a better class than AmigaOS.  

Bill McEwan probably wishes he had AROS,  because it is actually a *TRUE* ADVANCEMENT of the architecture, for which  it is attempting to be similar to. And the heart of the product is not an emulation like amithlon, and for speed and size it kicks MS-Windows "BUTT*..

Thermamborman: are you sure you are not spreading dis-information purposefully to attempt to side track this project that they are working on and their success? Or cast aspursions on the product's viability cause you know it actually works better and didn't ever come from any of your named sources for the "other" product you mention..

Oh let's not talk EULA okay?

You must be a PC person, I don't remember any Commodore products besides AmigaVision having a real EULA (End-User-License-Agreement) that gave you only specific rights. I think saying Amiga Inc has control there is beyond laughability.

I was a developer recognized by CATS (Commodore-Amiga technical support) which published most of the documentation on the OS anyway, and let's see Escom, Amiga Technologies GmBH, Gateway, let's spin the wheel vanna I could name 3 or more sources off the web right now.

You could easily get documentation from sources today other than Amiga Inc. They have really not done that much coding at the main level of the operating system themselves  to even warrant giving them any credit at all). Remember the OS upgrades were done out of house and Commodore and Escom are OUT OF (AMIGA) BUSINESS... All of my developer documents and compilers even those from SAS mention nothing about Amiga Inc.

I could release a product for the Commodore-Amiga computer and be well in my rights not to mention Amiga Inc, even in passing and not owe Amiga Inc.  a dime and not take ANY INFORMATION from them. I'd also probably still be very compatible with the products they hold.  

I could also come out with a clone product closely resembling but not being the same code and it's a new product and not have stolen any of their intellectual property.

They don't get all of the cookies just because they own the rights now, nor are they the holy grail of informations sources. I think developers around from the Commodore-Amiga days would agree with me there.  I look at the Amiga developer support network and I wonder, where is all the documentation, if Amiga isn't designing hardware, they could at least be bringing new documentation to life.
