As usual - open source or die. It's the only way minority platforms stand a chance.

Except every Amiga program that went open source has had no development continue with it, with the exception of AWeb, but thats more of a code cleanup than any major new feaetures.


So the Amiga platform is different in this aspect compared to other platforms?

AROS is free, it's open, it's aims to be compatible with the OS3.9 API, and it's reached a very advanced state. It runs on non-exotic hardware. It doesn't need to be bundled with oddball hardware, and anyone can participate in the development.

AROS is to Linux alike in thinking. I think that Amiga users are dedicated users. It means that they love to be a part of a community. AROS dosent create that community, it tries to open it and make the Amiga community as loose as the PC community.


No, they're creating a portable, open version of the AmigaOS3.9 API, enabling more people to use it.

Then AROS clearly isn't aiming to be Amiga-like :-D


Lol!!! :) How very true.
