The licensing scheme for AmigaOS4 is NOT what is restricting it from running on Mac's.
1. Where do you find a Mac hardware distributor willing to bundle it with AmigaOS4? I mean, do you seriously think the AmigaOS4 will ever be able to compete with MacOSX without beeing bundled with the hardware like the MacOSX is? I'm sorry but few are those willing to try an alternative OS on the MacIntosh computers, even less people are willing to pay for it. *NIX derivates are basicly the only alternative OS's that has managed to stay alive as alternatives on the Mac market, but they on the other hand are not commercial and is therefore not to be fought with commercial means. AmigaOS4 is a commercial product and would cost more than it tastes as an alternative OS to MacOSX.
2. Do you seriously expect the AmigaOS4 to automagicly run on the PowerMac if we just removed the ROM requirement? Once again, the licensing scheme is not to be blamed for the incompatibilities with the PowerMac, Pegasos, Barbie, PC, Atari, PS2, GameCube, XBox, etc. A PowerMac specific HAL as well as bootstrap would have to be created, do you really think AmigaOS4 sales on the Mac market would be able to cover the additional development costs? Or do you just assume that the AmigaOS4 developers are willing to do this for free just like those *NIX derivates?
When are you going to stop this so obviously misleading FUD campaign, Seehund?
