No,it is not abandonware;whether you like it or not Cloanto is a LICENSED seller of the ROM codes,etc.
I am just so damn disgusted with so-called premium supporters of anything who basically just want it all free.In the heydays of Commodore Amiga  too many felt they should only have to pay for the computer and then use all the stolen software they  could find.I guess Americans aren't so noble after all.
Hyperion and Amiga,Inc just went through a big court battle over the OS rights.Hyperion  won.

Amiga Forever also gathers all those bits in a nice  package that installs and runs easily for the average Amiga fan who doesn't have time and effort to play in the files.

All  you "cough" software thieves helped kill the Amiga market for software long ago.

I,for one, would rather not be known for how much of others' work I have stolen.You?

So you don't think the fact software was stolen to such an extent the software companies didn't make anything MIGHT affect their producing NEW programs for the Amiga that would convince even more people to buy Amigas is relevant?

And if you haven't the money to buy something ,it doesn't matter if you are 13 or 30,it is still stealing!Stealing isn't even necessary for food ,clothing,or shelter;if you can't get those from charities,then the government will take those things from people who worked for them and give it to you in much of the world.

Very few people appreciate anything they get without effort.

Commodore top management was admittedly inept and super-greedy.
