Re: Open Source Applications Worthy of Porting

I disagree, in that they should be ported to OS4, they should be ported to AROS, and from there to Morphos/OS4/whatever. The reason is simple, AROS pursues no commercial goals, and it is not biased regarding the sourcecode availability. Commercial OSes are biased, in that most of the time, they want to obtain an advantage from the other, just by delivering, many times partial/incomplete/non-compilable sources which are not complete because they incorporate privately developed components right into the code, which of course, they are not publicly available.
If they use AROS as original development platform, they could always have access to the entire sourcecode which will be actually complete, and would in an ideal world, foster cooperation between the coders of every Amigoid OS, and eventually everyone could benefit from it.
