Not aimed at any one person in this thread:
The MorphOS2.x licensing model is not ideal from the users POV, but no one has come up with an alternative model that is better and still provides an equal amount of protection against piracy for the Dev. Team.
AROS users have no problem with licenses, but OS4.x users are not much better off than MorphOS2.x users, as they can't transfer their OS4.x license when they upgrade their SAM440ep/flex to a new SAM460 (or can they), or to a Pegasos2, or to the X1000 if/when they are available to purchase. Linux users are in the same boat as AROS users, but Windows users often run into problems some time down the road with updates, after they have moved their license from one machine to another.
The current MorphOS2.x license model is not for everyone, but I have no problem with it and find it laughable that so many people try to make a big deal of it. If you don't like MorphOS2.x, or if you don't want it to prosper because you prefer another alternative, then just say so and use the advantages of your preferred OS to convince others to try it, but don't try to dissuade anyone else from trying MorphOS2.x just because the license model is different than Windows, or not needing any license like AROS, or Linux.
@Duce,
Either don't register your MacMini and use it in the free mode until you find and purchase the more powerful PPC Mac in the future, or buy the license for the MacMini and then when you upgrade to a more powerful PPC Mac, sell the MacMini and the MorphOS2.x license together to pay for the new license. Like I said, it is not the best solution for us users, but unless you have a better solution for both users and the MorphOS Dev. Team, nothing is likely to change.
