Mr. Serious is here.. Is this a topic already seen? If not then why NOT?
Honesly, why not make OS4 open source?
Oh dear, not the old "open sourcing will save everything" argument.
Why not make OS4 open source? Well, here are some reasons:
* Users don't want fifty different OS4 distros all with a heap of bugs each;
* Users don't want to be left on their own to deal with incredibly poor human interfaces left by the coders, such as in Linux.
* Amiga hasn't got many developers left at all. What makes you think people demanding they put all their work in for free will make them more motivated?
* Users don't want the old open-source reply to bugs, "Well, you have the source - why not fix it yourself?"
* Users don't want OS4 become bloated as people add in lots of useless features they want but nobody else needs, rather than a concerted plan of advancement.
And finally:
* Open sourcing never saved anything. Linux survives because of its geek factor, not because it's open source.
