IMO, the compulsory dongling/licensing/bundling/yadayada restrictions applied to AmigaOS is CONTRADICTORY to actually SELLING your product, AmigaOS. It's an obstacle in the way of seeing even a moderate commercial success and future for AmigaOS. Some try to excuse it with that the obstacle is easy to overcome, but there's no valid reason to have that obstacle there at all.


I'd like to point out (again) that your problem is with the terms of Amiga Inc.'s OEM license.  And the OEM license does place restriction on what hardware Amiga OS 4 can run...  BUT this does not preclude licensing terms for a 'retail' or 'consumer' version not bundle with hardware (well, beyond a USB/serial/parallel dongle).

Do you concede this?

"we aren't going to sell a shrink wrap"


I have not seen any such declaration by Amiga Inc., Hyperion, or Eyetech.  Mind telling me where this was said and by whom?

LOL! :D Excellent disclaimer! Sucks that it's apparently needed though.


Yes...  Yes it is.
