GPL doesn't imply "link for download" at all, actually. I think you need to read the GPL again...

You don't need the source to write a mod, you need the API documentation.

And as Ben quoted from the GPL FAQ:
The only way to comply with the GPL is to have the source available on request on a physical medium. Bundled with binary on CD is ok (and enough?), ftp is a nice gesture but is neither required nor enough. Seperate CD at near cost price is ok and enough.

umm note that it says WARPOS in big letters , whilst epic makes their titles MOS only .... damn is this the end? ...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh ...do i need 2 fully setups here to enjoy all the cool AMIGA stuff?


Uhm, yeah. Hyperion are such ####heads, eh? I mean, taking the time and effort to make AmigaOS4 and then porting things to only run on WarpOS/AOS4 instead of doing the only sensible thing, eh? ;-)

Nah, not really. If you wanna enjoy more cool stuff you would have to buy a PC with windows anyway, since 99% of everything only works there. So what's new? I'm 100% behind Hyperion on this one. You as a customer can say what you want, but noone is obligated to listen...
