Varthall,
OT but yes, the Friedens are now suing Hyperion as well as AInc. Refer to the court doc #82, attachment #1, pages 46-47. I guess all those predictions that the Friedens would try to take the kernel and walk weren't so far off the mark after all.
As far as why no OS4 on Mac PPC, Hyperion and the Friedens have consistently shot down that idea for years for a number of reasons, such as:
Hyperion isn't in the "have a few PPC systems lying around market".
We can't figure out the Mac mobos without documentation that Linux groups have had for years, and asking the Linux community for help is out of the question because open source is the devil.
We don't have a license for a Mac port. (this excuse doesn't hold much water anymore for obvious reasons)
Since Apple has gone Intel there are no Mac PPC systems available anymore.
OS4 is poised to take over the embedded market where there is no competition. (not really related but throwing it in anyway for kind of a retro 2005 perspective, lol)
My favorite though comes from the OS4 community itself: releasing OS4 on hardware which is no longer in production would make OS4 look ridiculous.
