I've written several programs for *nix (GPL), and I'd never even dream of charging money for it.

It benefits the community and gives you Good Karma™.

Why should you pay for Firefox when nobody else does?


I think he's talking about paying someone to port it to AmigaOS.

And, no, the dream will unfortunately never come true for classic Amigas.  Not even for those equipped with PPC accels.

Being open source, the code is availiable for someone to have a go at porting it right now. Instead, as the OP kindly pointed out, doing so wouldn't generate any money, hence nobody in the community is interested.


Not quite.  I'm not donating to such a project, because I know it will be a waste of money.  It's literally impossible - FF on AOS just won't work.  I'm not going to cite the arguments, just read the other discussions in other threads.

Therefore, the dream will never come true for classic Amigas, as I said in my post.
