Merger between AmigaOne and Pegasos dev teams

Somehow, though, I suspect it will never happen...

Does anyone believe opening up the source under the GNU General Purpose Licence (GPL) Agreement would benefit AmigaOS?

and who is going to do that? amiga inc.? genesi?? you???
are you going to break into the offices at night and (physically)steal the source code you you may release it as open source?

It could drastically speed up the development, and help the followers of Amiga to feel more involved - so that it becomes their AmigaOS, rather than a corporate thang.

im not the first to mention AROS, if you dont like the corporate thng(what ever that is supposed to mean) you can get stuck into the code of your own damn os, base it on AROS if you like

What about convincing developers to leave their current projects, instead using their valuable skills on an open source project that could be available for ever?

convice them to leave their current (reletivly)stable jobs and then what? you will pay them??
how will they get paid for an open source project
where does the money come from?

Samuar you come up with all these ideas, none of them practical

im not saying opensourced amigaos is such a bad idea
i would love to get hold of the amigaos source
but its amiga inc.'s choice, therefore there is no point saying "i think amigaos should be made open source"
who is going to do it?
no sane person would pay millions of dollars for a company, only to give(or throw)away its IP
