While I share a bit of your frustration, all of this comes down to egos and nothing more. People can pretend that there are licensing issues, but there aren't. Personal ego however is the strongest of all causes and people won't get involved with people they don't like.
Well we agree with most of what you said here.However, BBRV certainly said there were lisencing issues.
It's EXACTLY this reason that McEwen didn't license OS4 to Bill Buck in the first place. It wasn't economics, it wasn't licensing issues, it was the fact that Buck in some way pissed off McEwen (and I'm sure it runs both ways), so McEwen refused to license the OS development to him (otherwise we'd already have "AmigaOS4" in the form of MorphOS).
I would sincerely like to see any factual evidence you have of B.McEwens intentions in this regard.
Buck as a result of ego went off on a different -- and apparently more successful -- path. That is of course presuming that Buck didn't give McEwen all the ideas and strategies they had as he claims to have done. (reference Buck's claims on Moobunny and ANN)
Well this remains to be seen, and only time will tell in fullness.
Bottom line in this topic is that Amiga Inc. is no longer at the party at all, as far as we know.Until we know more information we can pretty well forget about them as far as A1/os4 and Pegasos/morphos goes.
I think things have gone too far down the line to really bring them back together, and when AOS4 I think we will see the two "camps" go thier seperate ways, something that I feel should probably happen now. On the other hand, maybe Kmos can somehow meld it back together, there no longer is an "ego" issue here.
My personal feelings are that as long as BBRV is involved with Genesi, then I want nothing at all to do with them.Not saying the product they have is inferior in anyway.
Perhaps KMOS, if it has as much money as has been implied, should buy Morphos and the pegasos as well and solve the issue once and for all lol
