AmigaOS 3.1 source code leak - official statement

[Gulliver]

I thought the post was an average internet troll, but now I see it seems it was Hyperion trolling Amiga users. They are deluding themselves into thinking they add value to the 68k usersbase and that users somehow must be thankful about that.

Anyway, I see this as really great news:

Hyperion will once again (and hopefully now for good) face bankrupcy for persuing copyright infringement on AmigaOS 3.1 sourcecode. This will certainly be a nice coffin nail for them. A more than 20 years old operating system beating their ass.

It is absurdly ridiculuos, but fun nontheless.

You're not googling correctly.  Lol.  It's there.  I'm tempted to download it and look thru it for various gems.  I bet it has some....historical purposes,  it would be cool to have a copy of it... actual workbench source. Very cool.

It has a lot of gems. Inside, there is a nice word document about the path Amiga development was heading when CBM went Bankrupt. It shows that software wise, there was nothing really new in the works. That AmigaOS v42 was at very initial stages and it was AmigaOS 4, that was going to bring RTG as standard to bridge the gap between 68k Amigas, Haynie´s AAA and PA-RISC. And that PA-RISC with a 3D engine was the future (PPC was never even mentioned). And then there is a lot of hardware based on the CD32 that was targetted at different markets.

I am sorry to burst your bubble, but the document contains details, what was out there was general information. It is a good read as there are lots of conclusions that can be driven by interpreting it, and it sheds some light on some previously unheard hardware.
