Quoting the license code:
Quote
MiniGL may only be compiled for/ incorporated in code running on AmigaOS.

I understand that as restriction for coders, that they may only compile their programs/games for AmigaOS.

However, in my opinion it doesn't say, that end users may not use the compiled binary on other systems able to run AmigaOS executables (MorphOS, UAE, Amithlon etc...)

EDIT:
And I sure can't see any mention of such restrictions on my Heretic II box...

Note, *emulation*.

So, is MacOS emulation legal?

Well, that's completely different matter.

afaik, MacOS has license, that grants permission to run it only on Macintosh hardware.

Minigl license permits developers to compile only for AmigaOS, but no matter how I look at the license text, it doesn't seem to forbid running resulting code on other operating systems...

(Of course developer could make his own license)
