I have great respect for Haynie, but in this case I think he's just conjecturing. He has no proof that the MOS sources are stolen from AmigaOS and never will have. And such a claim doesn't even make sense considering

1) The limited usefulness of the AOS sources;
2) The fact that MOS was begun with AROS sources, which are certainly not stolen;
3) MOS (or rather QBox)  is very different structurally than AOS. It has AOS emulation using native code, called ABox. No more, no less.


1) 90% usefull for ABOX, perhaps.
2) ??? I thought AROS code was used only after it became apparenty that MOS could not use  AOS as part of it.
3) But Commercial version of MOS (ships with every pegasos) is just ABOX.

I respect DH more than every other current AInc/Hyperion/Genesi kid all together.

argh.... I'm way too pissed off ...
