Amiga stands up from the death !

Miracle Max: He probably owes you money huh? I'll ask him.  
Inigo Montoya: He's dead. He can't talk.  
Miracle Max: Whoo-hoo-hoo, look who knows so much. It just so happens that your friend here is only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do.  
Inigo Montoya: What's that?  
Miracle Max: Go through his clothes and look for loose change.

I just don't want to see a 90 post argument where it's just "Mos is DEAD!" "No it is NOT!" "Yes, it it is!" "NO, it is NOT!".

So, What has changed? Other than Ambient is now GPL? Agreements with what parties about what? Genesi seems to have washed its hands of Morphos. So, I guess it's back to unpaid deveopment? What of Morphos 1.5?

No, I don't think your a troll. It's just take I didn't want the stage to be set for a troll to jump in and start spiraling it out of control.

Lack of communication form the Morphos developers has been the main problem in the last year. No one with any authority knew what was going on and for the most part people don't know what is happening now. That's one of the reasons someone posted the IRC log, as I understand it.

ralph schmidt own the major/essential parts of morphos (e.g. kernel and low level stuff)

Yes, that is my understanding. According to the IRC log he's off developing that part, the Morphos core, for the embedded market. Ambient is now open source, GPL license. Theres seems to have been a deal struck with MUI, not sure exactly what. According to the IRC log, the MUI developer wanted to release MUI 4.0 for Morphos, Amiga OS 4.0, and Amiga Classics. With Morphos getting a free full license. Which Raplph Schmidt didn't like as he felt it would take away Morphos' unique look. How you do that on a skinable GUI, I don't know. Though I wonder what deal was made with MUI.
Now with MUI and Open Source Ambient, Morphos now has a GUI again. That's about all I've been able to piece together.

Could the Swedish speakers please let us non-Swedish speakers (not to mention no access to magazine) know the basics of the article?
