That's true but for that Genesi would have to give up MorphOS and pay the licence to AmigaInc.
I guess they will never do one of those things.

If AmigaOS 4.0 runs on a pegasos that is available without paying the licence fee to AmigaInc. then the people copying and cracking will destroy the market *again*.

@meerschaum:
What do you think who is doing the *work* for porting OS4 ?
If there are enough units sold (which is not the case yet) Hyperion could do this work because they would get the revenue. But how can you assure the sales of OS4 on Pegasos if there is no copy-protection mechanism like on AmigaOne ?
But if anytime Genesi (or any other) would make a PegasosOne *with* copy-protection and pay the license to AmigaInc. to be able to run OS4 legally on that platform, then you can say that they have done all to bring OS4 to Pegaos.
Until now they have not done anything like that and therefore it is very unsure if OS4 wil ever run on Pegasos.
Spending a Pegasos to Hyperion just nothing. You can't start writing an OS on a machine that you don't know (internally). And that infos Genesi will not share with their competitors. Vice versa Hyperion will not share the infos on how to write the OS4-HAL (Hardware abstraction layer) on a new machine.
