Sorry to ask that again, but...

somehow i doubt its up to only A Inc to allow this.  Also, I doubt Apple would let them run anything on their hardware legally (if i was them i wouldn't, no need for another competing OS since Apple has their own).  and finally other engineering issues discussed at length at this and other amiga forums...  :horse: lol

How much money has MOS made from its sales?  Has it paid any of its developers?  How serious of a company are they?  Did they reach any agreement with Apple?  Those would be the questions of a business man, not just an technology professional.

As a user yes no one will care or knock at your house doors.  It may be laughable to you, but I'm thinking like a company not as a user.  If i'm selling an OS and targetting a manufacturer's hardware (surely you will say that it works on macmini), is there legal issues? (there must be, have you consulted a lawyer to confirm there isn't any???). What is Morphos legal status-does Genesi own it or is it like AROS?  Has Apple provided MorphOS development team with all the documentation?  With linux, even if you had grounds to sue, what company / who would you go after?  MorphOS - is it still supported by Genesi?  Does Genesi pay you or other developers or do you "develop for free" as with Linux?  
How about SAM440?  how do you know it's legal, and not a licensing issue? (last time i heard there was no information on this issue or has it changed??)
Those are some of my questions. :-)

That is just laughable excuse. You've bought the hardware, and as such you have right to run whatever software you want on it. What apple can do, however, is to try disable hacked versions of their own software (read: hosing unlocked iphones on firmware update for example). Clearly this does not apply to 3rd party OSes.

My Mac Mini is running Linux and MorphOS in addition to Mac OS X. I've yet to hear from Apple legal department.

- if MorphOS is not financially driven, and like Linux, then thats fine.  It would also make sense why no one cares about legality and why they are willing to go minimac.  That may be different from OS4 then.  Thats why i mentioned it and I know very little about Morphos hence i asked.  But i think selling your own hardware and software raises more funds for a company like Hyperion/Acube.  And that may be this other reason (assuming there's no legalities).

How serious of a company are they? Did they reach any agreement with Apple?
- If you're buying software for company, and you run an OS at a company, you'd want to know this...  cause companies can and do sue companies.  Also if i'm buying an OS for business use, knowing who i'm dealing with etc.

Anyway, why the hostility, are you like full time developer there or something?  No kidding, its impossible to generate income from Amiga since like 1994...
anyway crack open a beer - we are all amigans here! :cheers:

Edit: I guess you are developer on Morphos.  Apologies if comments/questions were out of context.
