Title: Directory Opus Magellan II Bounty
Post by: Johan Samuelsson on February 02, 2012, 11:31:30 AM

This project aims to collect sufficient funds to purchase the source code of GPSoftware's Directory Opus Magellan II (version 5.82, AmigaOS) for free use under the AROS Public License, a derivative of the Mozilla Public License 1.1.
*
The purchase will also a include a limited license for the trademark "Directory Opus Magellan" that will grant the right to use it for software running on Amigoid platforms (real hardware or emulated) in general, specifically hardware running the AROS (all flavors including hosted), AmigaOS and / or MorphOS operating systems.
*
Use of the source code is limited by the AROS Public License and use of trademarks for software running on other operating systems or platforms than specified above is strictly prohibited unless a separate licence has been negotiated.

If the requested sum will be raised and the transfer will be completed, the source will be released and made available on a public SVN page.

Funding Goal: 5600 USD

And I for one hope that we raise enough to pull this off. This is exactly the sort of interface that AROS is in dire need of!

Would be useful in MorphOS as well...


even though it's already half Magellan by default.

Every time I power on any Amiga I own, I'm using DOpus5. It is the centre from which I do almost everything. Simply the scope to make enhancements and fixes would be worth pledging some money; continuing this software on the new platforms is a fantastic bonus.
