What legal issues? Emulation is not illegal, MorphOS has all that and it's perfectly legal.
I think he means providing the kickstart files needed to use UAE, which require you either have the originals, buy that AmigaForever thingy, or know how to use an internet search engine and do it the traditional Amiga way - piracy. (Note: I do NOT endorse doing it that way as it'd be wrong and immoral and kill the Amiga blah, blah, blah).
I understand that they want to reimplement the kickstart in it's entirety anyway, so that wouldn't be a problem in such instances.
On the main topic: as far as lack of native apps for AROS go, yes this stops me at present from using it for more than 10 minutes - as a 'curio' as dandelion puts it. Though it is getting there as all I really want from an OS are a web browser (a
proper one that is, no Amigan format has this). An office package (really just the word processor part would be fine for my purposes). A music app capable of understanding current formats (subtle hint for .ogg), a video player (these two could be combined). And an art package of some kind (AROS has a port of Lunapaint, but I've not tried it yet).
At the moment I'm not too clued up on what exactly AROS has in native form. If at some point I can tick those 5 boxes, I could happily switch to AROS on a semi-permanent basis (need Windoze for games obviously).
