That's a good argument for deprecating MUI (and other toolkits where licensing is a single of failure), too.

(I meant single *point* of failure, of course....)

What makes you think MUI has this problem? It doesn't.

Are you sure? Are commercial software developers no longer required to pay an arbitrary registration fee to use and redistribute MUI? Reading between the lines, Stefan's goal was to create a new user interface standard that allowed him to share in the profits of all future Amiga-based commercial software offerings. (Actually, I'm just paraphrasing the text at http://www.sasg.com/mui/policies.html and not really reading between the lines.)

If registrations and contract negotiations for commercial software developers are no longer possible for some reason, then no one can create commercial software using MUI, regardless of how the end user obtains the MUI user archive. :-/

I'm just being grumpy. :-) As a user, I never liked how many third party widgets I had to install to get a mostly functional Amiga system up and running. As a developer, I try to stick to what a vanilla operating system installation provides.

Zune requires AfA, doesn't it?

I was just following along the thread, where others have said they haven't been able to contact him. Again, I was just being grumpy....
