@Dingo_aus:
I totally, 1000% agree. There's so many awesome programs that were written for the Amiga, many of which could gain a new lease on life in the open source world. I'm not really sure what it would take to make this happen... a mass buyout from absentee copyright owners? A prayer vigil? Who must we bribe to make this a reality? I'm guessing the best way to get some momentum behind such an idea is to first start by making a list of the programs which people would like to have open-sourced and then, perhaps, try to approach the copyright owners? Dunno the best way to go about it, but I think its a great idea, at least in concept..
