AmigaOS on PPC Mac - are there any legal objections?

[Jupp3]

Exactly! I did manage to launch this Moana CD on my Mac Mini, so it's almost done at that stage, the only mandatory issues to fix seem the internet and the sound. Wifi and USB would be fine.

Great!

But on the other hand... ACube wouldn't like it done so it's a matter of an agreement between those parties. If there was no matter of any formal sense, the project should take no more than 3-5 weeks...

Sounds like they should hire you, if you are absolutely sure, you could do all that in such a short period of time.

Including testing on various configurations.

Especially if you meant it as "in addition to doing normal day work" like most OS4 developers probably do.

Anyway, what's preventing him to release that? Fear?

Don't know, but I'd expect it to be the good old "It's not ready yet".

GPL clearly states that if you have a binary for GPL program, you can request sources from the original developer (or he can just upload them with binary to begin with)

If no-one has the binary, there's no legal obligation to give the sources to anyone.

This allows the developers develop software in peace, and only release sources (and binary) "when it's ready"

And just curious, why would anyone fear updating a GPL licensed program? It's not illegal or anything, you know  :roll:
