Your comment clearly indicates that a protection of some sort is of utmost importance.

For the record, nothing in AmigaOS 4 will keep you from running Linux or MacOS or what have you on the same machine. If you claim that, you are wrong.

For the record, all protection methods are aimed against piracy. However, I don't see any overwhelming reason to try and get OS 4 to run on anything else but supported hardware.

I would prefer if you could use common sense before posting.

Seehund, it might be a good idea to leave worrying about sales to those people that acutally do the work.

Your post contradicts itself completely. The first paragraph says that you cannot get it separately from hardware, while the second says you can buy it for CSPPC's.

*Any* OS is targeted at a specifc set of hardware. Even Linux. You may succeed in porting it to another platform, but don't pretend that this will happen automatically.

This might or might not work, depending on how someone hacks MOL to get the Cyberstorm PPC version working.

However, this does violate the AmigaOS 4 licence as much as it violates the OS X licence to do the same on MOL. From the Apple Software Licence, paragraph 2:
"This licence allows you to install and use the Apple Software on a single Apple-labeled or Apple-licenced computer at a time".
