@Kolla
Burning ROMs would require some real work, something which disappeared in AF around 2006 - it became something similar like EA's FIFA brand...but market is made for everyone and preferences are alyways feature of an individual. I guess he (Cloanto) make more retail from online editions which are more contributing to overall business case.

An interesting point of view.
Just out of boredom...
Cloanto has no copyright, just rights for distribution, someone else have that rights correct ? If Cloanto had made a deal with any of still functioning "claimers" of Amiga Kickstart IPs, it might be only limited by a general patent/copyright expiraton. Anything beyond that is a bluff being possible because community is still trapped in 1994, with no clue what to expect from such a mess ? Seriuosly, I doubt, it's like beating a dead horse anyway, getting kickstarts in binary is no-sweat compared to making slaves for WHDLoad.
