AROS keeps building, some hw guys decide to cash in on an open source project, angering many in that camp...[1]
 
Some people apparently aren't too happy that after so many people contributed to AROS, that some companies are selling hardware with AROS
installed, making money essentially off of everyone else's hard work, without paying any of the aros developers except those required to finish their hardware projects.

[1] Citation needed.

I am an AROS developer and follow both the developer list and aros-exec and I don't get the vibe you try to describe. Both ClusterUK and phoenixkonsole are considered part of the AROS community as they are giving back.

Yes, but that was because some people did not like the (lack of) project management of AROS (no schedule and rockin') and the source code compatibility requirement with AOS3.x of AROS.
