Licensing Kickstart ROMs for Raspberry Pi

[gaula92]

Wow! Eben Upton posting in Amiga.org!

I have my Raspberry Pi since May and I love it. It's currently running Gentoo Linux and the awesome Risc OS.
I believe the way to go would be AROS (native port was talked about time ago..) with the AROS replacement ROM: no need to mess with thieves, in my opinion.
UAE on Linux on the Rpi is NOT a good idea, believe me. To archieve smooth scroll you'd need custom video modes on X and SDL on OpenGL backend. Another option would be the SDL on the framebuffer, with the adequate custom modes in /etc/fb.modes, but I don't know how good is the framebuffer driver for the Rpi.
What's your plan, if you can tell me?

I once bought an Amiga500 (well, my parents did) and later an Amiga 1200. Period.
Since then, I have downloaded the kickstart ROMS hundreds of times, literally.

every time I want to run an UAE version on Linux or other OSEs, and everytime I want to softboot my Amiga1200 or my Minimig, I don't even look for the kickstart ROMS I downloaded time ago: I just go to TBP or other sharing site and download EVERY version of it in a TOSEC pack with includes even betas.
I have NEVER paid for something like the kickstart ROMS dumps and never will: they are mine to do whatever I want with them.

And this is for the idiots defending the vultures gettnig paid for selling dumps of kickstarts ROMS: f**K you The dumps are EVERYWHERE and they can be dowloaded on a click for free. Fight that, you retarded.
