Mr. Serious is here.. Is this a topic already seen? If not then why NOT?
Honesly, why not make OS4 open source?
Do that, spread the word GIVE IT TO US NOW,  and it would brethe more life into the Amiga world then any attemps to commercialize it.  Releasing OS4 as open source would generate more downloads and more publicity.. and perhaps an army of developers drooling to sink their teeth  into something exotic(yes, I said exotic!) and fresh!  How much money are the developers making now anyway?
I'm just seeing a flawed business model here..
Perhaps Amiga just need to stop trying to be a business,.

>> Linux survives because of its geek factor, not because it's open source.

That's kind of dissmisive and narrow sighted.
But regardless, Ok. At least It's surviving.

I guess the Personal Computer survived because of it's geek factor also.

The whole motivation behind my argument was give it to me now!
Honestly, If I had OS4 to play with in some reasonable manifestation.. and by that I mean more then a collection of screenshots, I would buy an AmigaOne.
