I think Piru is saying he does not get paid at all for being a MorphOS dev, pretty easy to understand I think

all he addded to the post was

"The money from the registrations is mostly used to keep the web site, registration server and other support infrastructure running. It is also used to obtain hardware for potential future ports.

Any claims that I would somehow get financial benefit from this is clearly nonsense."

To clarify where the money goes and to back up that he does not get any of it

Why not?
 
The same thing is currently being developed for AROS. There are 2 different approaches atm (J-UAE and Emumiga).

Apples and orranges.  They are for hardware banging games and apps I believe.  MorphOS changes 68k to PPC code on the fly and I beleive.  MorphsOS is 3.1 binary comptaible for asystem frienddly, not the same as running an emulator.

I stand corrected on the Emumiga front.  However I think it does make a difference to the end users as converting to ppc code and using the system api gives a) much more integration b) is much much much faster
