There are probably  various licenses of much more UP TO DATE Amiga software that is to use only with the AmigaOS,  and they are referenced as compatible on some MOS sites. Are they promotiing unlicensed used of the software?  


Because that would be just breaking an EULA, which in most countries would be ruled invalid
if they ever got to a court.

Dealers handing out "free" SW isn't something new in this market, and IF Eyetech don't include
manuals, you can bet on it that those packs aren't just old stock. Wether they obtained new
licences is something that Wayne tries to
investigate. Vesalia selling "unbundled" Magig-Packs is again just breaking the EULA.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else
