 The fact that you and possibly the MorphOS folks don't have a business license when selling products doesn't mean that you're not running a business.


Payments are due to "Ralph Schmidt Softwareentwickling" (maybe there even was an GmbH added to it) so yes technically it's a buisness. That doesn't mean it's a buisness in the common  sense (read someone making a living of it).

Number of licences sold aren't a really well kept secret (never were), but that not the point.

In order to make a product commercially viable that involves as many people as MorphOS (or OS4) even if they are working only parttime one would have to cash in atleast 500000Euro ...... not just once, but for every year the projects runs.

There hasn't been that kind of money in the Amiga-market eversince C= went down, and therefore it doesn't really matter wether they port MorphOS to old Macs,x86,ARM or Z80 as it would all be just the same hobby-project with minimal financial gains as it is right now.
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
