To celebrate the English (http://www.soft3.net) web pages launch, Soft3 offers a price reduction on all AmigaOne products.
More pages will be  added shortly.

From their catalog:

AmigaOne Motherboards

Model CPU Euro*
AmigaOne G3-SE G3 750CXe @ 600 Mhz 684
AmigaOne G3-XE G3 750FX @ 800 Mhz 795
AmigaOne G4-XE G4 7451 (or 7455) @ 800 Mhz 875
all boards come with a cpu fan installed
*Including Italian taxes

LinuxOne Motherboards
Debian PPC 3.0 and SuSE 7.3 PPC installation cd available.

Model CPU Euro*
LinuxOne G3-XE** G3 750FX @ 800 Mhz 740
LinuxOne G4-XE** G4 7451 (or 7455) @ 800 Mhz 830

all boards come with a cpu fan installed
*Including italian taxes
**Same specifications as AmigaOne motherboards, with Linux only firmware. Please note: these boards cannot run AmigaOS 4.0

Here we have a single dealer selling both AmigaOne and LinuxOne motherboards, with the only difference being the "dongle rom".  The difference in price is 55 Euro for the G3 version and 45 Euro for the G4 version.

Where exactly is this extortion-level AmigaOS license fee again?

I don't understand your question.
The only thing a bit strange is that a rom for the G3 version and one for the G4 version should have the same price ! :-)

There is a certain subset of the amiga community that maintains that the price difference between an $800 AmigaOne and a $400 "betatester" pegasos is due to Amiga Inc charging hundreds of dollars for the "dongle rom".  This is a clear example that shows how this reasoning is flawed.
