How does the platform limitation work?

What if a new "Amigoid" OS is written?
Does Syllable fall in this category?
Dragonfly BSD?
What is the cutoff point?

There just seem to be slippery slopes and contradictions with open source and platform limits that I would like clarified before donating.

The platforms limitation is only for the use of the name "Directory Opus" which is not for sale but is being licensed for use on Amiga platforms, the Sources code would be released under under the AROS Public License, a derivative of the Mozilla Public License 1.1 and could be used on any platform.

As detailed on the bounty page : "This project aims to collect sufficient funds to purchase the source code of GPSoftware's Directory Opus Magellan II (version 5.82, AmigaOS) for free use under the AROS Public License, a derivative of the Mozilla Public License 1.1.

 

The purchase will also a include a limited license for the trademark "Directory Opus Magellan" that will grant the right to use it for software running on Amigoid platforms (real hardware or emulated) in general, specifically hardware running the AROS (all flavors including hosted), AmigaOS and / or MorphOS operating systems.

 

Use of the source code is limited by the AROS Public License and use of trademarks for software running on other operating systems or platforms than specified above is strictly prohibited unless a separate licence has been negotiated."
