Then why don’t you just let “your man in Havana” join the OS team, so he can benefit from documentation, official support etc??
Hello,
There are a few problems with doing that:
1. From what I have read, there seems to be a legal dispute around OS 3.1.4 currently and who knows what will happen to the IP in the future? We prefer not to build our house upon sand.
2. Our developer is a professional coder and doesn't invest months of hard work in Amiga software projects for free. Are any of the OS developers paid for their work?
3. We are paying a lot of money for development and we need the freedom to release our own IP and build upon it regardless of other circumstances.
4. Our developer for this project has not been involved in any OS team in the past and the resultant code has been developed in a "clean room" scenario. We don't want to change this as this could jeopardise the entire project.
All of our developments are conducted through our
Amiga Developer Team. This was established way back in the ninetees by the original Amiga.org management and we have been for some time continuing this.
