Distribution Licence For Workbench...

[jj]

No one is doing an end around Cloanto. Cloanto is not the only ones with a right to distribute Amiga OS. Is Hyperion doing an end around Cloanto too then? They are distributing AmigaOS. An updated version at that! Are they trying to screw Cloanto?
 
Petro gave permission for Workbench 3.0 long ago to be distributed free. So he can at least put that up legally.

No he gave permission for AF to put it on their CDs not the same thing at all

And Cloanto have every right and legal responsibly to protect the AmigaOS IP... They seem to be very fair with their approach.
 
@Franko to be Frank with you (excuse the pun), the best idea is to just support the AROS68k project. It already has compatibility with AmigaOS 1.3 through to 3.1, and is getting better everyday... Why not funnel those vast tax fiddled funds you boast about, into some more bounties to help the developers optimise and improve it?

 
Because that would not annoy anyone and Franko is all about confrontation and strife its what he strives to do as much as possible

I said that

This thread is a farce and the only reason it exists is because Franko is bored and wants attention.

 
Very well said sir

[jj]

Are we now expected to listen to self-righteous babbling by a few people who seem to think that the Amiga will somehow be 'damaged' by Franko making WB disks easily available ?

Its not about people thinking Franko will damage the Amiga Its more about him not having the legal right to do so, no mater if you agree with it or not. Its not about him making the disks freely available, they already are , its about him being a pain as always

what dont people understand .   If i contacted microsoft and asked if i could put copies of win 95 on my website, and microsoft didnt reply so i put them up anyway an d get sued i wouldnt have a leg to stand on.  

JUST BECAUSE YOU CANT GET HOLD OF THE OWNERS OR THEY NOT REPLYING DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE LEGAL RIGHT TO HOST THE SOFTWARE.
