Next MorphOS version: 3.0! (Not 2.8)

[Piru]

most of the users left in the amiga community that are remotely interested in "next gen" scene aren't likely to be the old game disk pirates of old. They all buggered off to the chipped console market years ago. What's left are genuine enthusiasts who I am willing to guess are mature adults with jobs.

Of course these are pointless as the OS is only available for closed HW. You seriously think that if the OS would be available say for Mac HW this kind of thing wouldn't happen? Oh but it does, there's this warez version for Mac mini...

Initial license is invalid!  POOF!  GONE!  HW is no longer in the database, what you paid for is simply applied to a new entirely unique piece of hardware that it again IS LOCKED TO.

What you're suggesting would require active polling of a remote server, something which we certainly wouldn't want to do (not only we think it'd be quite invasive to require someone to connect to some server regularly, it'd also require constant network connectivity). Unless of course if you have a suggestion on how to perform bulletproof remote license revocation?

Who and what differentiates a HW failure from some jerk deliberately wrecking a piece of PPC Mac HW to take advantage of said offering?

I'm puzzled, how would that taking advantage of the offering?

Yes, the built-in wireless card works under Linux. No, it won't directly give us wireless under MorphOS.
