If you want to know about Apple, check out darwin.org
the core of the OS is open source, and hundreds and even thousands of apps have already been ported.

Amiga OS 4 should release the core as open soure then others could port the software themselves. Open source is better than commercial. Why do you think Apple used it for the core of their OS. BSD Free Unix. OS4 is superior. Hyperion doesn't even answer their emails, neither does Amiga, INc. They don't talk to their customers. Apple gives free developers tools.
They make a profit because everything is open source. It allows you to have thousands of programmers at your side without paying a cent. They only thing they have to pay for is the Gui and the parts they have added on which is also mostly open source based. Objective C certainly was.
They just packaged it intelligently. Hyperion should just market the software and hell with the contract. It is an unjust one at that. I have contacted amiga inc. Silence so far. Status quo for every owner of amiga inc since Commodore Business Machines when it was a real contender run by real business men that anwered their phones and ran a professional operation. They actually made a billion a year.
I had no problems with them.

I think what we need to form is a company that is run by a real amiga enthusiast and programmer that knows how to run a business.  I have a copy of a letter I posted to amiga, inc.
on the technology licensing platform and a letter I am mailing priority mail to the last address I have for the amiga.
Action needs to be taken. Just complaining is for the birds. They are unresponsive. Bill Mc Ewen was not, whatever his mistakes.

He at least talked to the customers. They all missed the boat. why do you think their are affiliate programs in internet marketing. The principle is that the more people you have selling your product, they assume the marketing risk and you split the profits. A win/win situation. The way to market the amiga. Customer service is what killed Amiga, Inc. Apple provides it. Their stock is rising steadily. I hope these people from hyperion and amiga inc will read these posts like I asked them too.
