Back several months ago when the talk was about Buck eventually buying out the last of Amiga Inc's IP when they go bust (wonder if McEwen has had his house foreclosed on yet?),if Buch would turn over WB 3 to AROS. AROS stated they didn't want the source code because it was, more or less, useless to them. If WB 3 is useless to AROS, just how much use would it be to base any MOS on?
First of all these are all hypotheses. But the point you're trying to make doesn't have any sense : several months before, WB3 code would be useless to everybody, so this isn't a valid statement. The whole argument was based on a "old can of worms" several years before :-)
