Apparently, they don't really have anything to do with the competition, they're just ToAks' OS4 beta workbench...

@Kronos

I can confirm that it IS at least OS4.0 PPC native. I don't know if its actually enhanced other than porting it, though.

Jesus christ people, when did you all become "copyright crusaders"? How does posting a single frame of labyrinth hurt tristar? How do you know he didn't rip the DivX from his own DVD? How much money do you think Genesi are losing by someone using some icons from morphos, that could have been cropped from a morphos screenshot anyway?

Get a sense of perspective here.

the freeware crowd", I think the irony and hypocrisy has reached too much of a level to be ignored.


Because a *user* of OS4 of happens to have some icons on his desktop? Come on! Those grabs don't even have ANYTHING to do with H&P's competition, let alone Hyperion.

We wouldn't want OS4 users to get the reputation of pirates, or OS4 as a reputation of a ripped off version of MorphOS, would we? :)


I've never said anything either way on the subject, but I don't think anyone ever accused the MorphOS *USERS* of being responsible for the usage of stolen code in MorpOS (NOTE: I'm not saying there is any stolen code in there, just that the users werent blamed for it by people who said there was).

Money isn't the only reason you protect your intellectual property. Ask JoBBo how he feels about everyone ripping off his stuff.


I honestly doubt JoBBo is terribly upset by ONE end-user using some icons he drew. Its not like they're shipping with OS4, or feature in official OS4 publicity shots. If you really care, why don't you ask him?
