Using demonstration of ANR to advertise commercial operating systems without explicit permission from the author is strictly prohibited. Any attempt to do this will result in future versions of ANR being actively prevented from running on the said operating systems.


What type of freeware license is that? :-?

Wouldn't that type of behaviour be counterproductive. I mean the "AMI" part is from Amiga right. Wouldn't the the trademark holders also actively prevent ANR to advertise thair non-commercial software without explicit permission from the trademark holders? :lol: (DRY JOKE)

Also since when is MorphOS non-commercial? So it would equally apply to that OS as well right?

If it is non-commercial then I would like a copy that I can get modified for my A1....make that two..I know a friend that would also like one. :-P

Seriously though, deciding not to support a platform is the authors choice but to be childish about it is just a bit silly.  :-(

Only in Amigaland  :roll:

It's a "angry at people who lie every day about our own OS who then make money from our hard work on ANR" licence.


You've just invented AngerWare (TM) :-D

edit

I doubt it that one application or utility is enough to sell a platform so I doubt much money is to be made that way.

ANR is good software don't get me wrong but it alone would not be sufficient to significantly boost sales.

the ANR authors should feel flattered that their great software is being demonstrated.

The fact that so many people are dissappointed is for that very reason, it's good software and the users are the ones that are really losing out.

So that rules out an OS4 native version ..right? (Somehow the post didn't seem complete without that last comment) sorry :lol:

I apologise if any of my comments caused greif to anyone. Its a bit of an unfortunate situation really, in this small market developers are too few and its just a little disheartening to see programmers leave. It was inevitable i guess. The effects of the changed Amiga landscape are here to stay and maybe we should be a little more accepting of that fact.

People have already decided what platform they are going to stick to and not much will change that.

I guess this whole saga was blow out of proportion :-)

Thanks for the effort and todays update guys. after all was said and done I think it was a genuine goodwill gesture.
