the fact remains that with os4 pretty every opportunity is taken to ask for money, especially that it is always justified with supporting the system and its future. i have not seen it with amiga, morphos or aros projects otherwise.
Please clarify.
AFAIK user had to buy 4.0 then 4.1, but that was way back in 2008 or so, after that, they did give us alot of free updates and boing bags. Then they put 4.1 FE on sale, for a very small amount. Besides no one forced any one to buy anything.
