Rapidly sliding OT here, but reverse engineering *is* very illegal - look at any of the legal mush that comes with most (all?) commercial software! And what did you think the legal problems with Amithlon were about then? Parking tickets?
Don't make the mistake of thinking that just because a law is unenforcable that it is non-existent. After all, AInc caught out Amithlon on a technicality, and there's always the chance MOS or AROS might get the same treatment.
I'm beginning to think some people think the Amiga belongs to them. Wrong! It belongs to AInc, not the "community". They paid for it and can do anything they like with it regardless of petitions or protests or flames. None of us can change that. Just get over it.
If they let us down, we don't have to follow them, do we?
