And how does one buy ROM license for Win UAE if one does not have an Amiga?
You shouldn't have to
buy a ROM licence for something released 25 years ago !
Every other parts of the system are available free of charge, and even open source for the most part, that includes:
- free and open source hardware (minimig)
- free games (lots of commercial games have been freely released by their owner, including most Team17 games for example)
- free and open source software based-emulator
- ...
If the 1.3 ROM (and yes, I mean the ROM, not even the disk based workbench apps, and I mean 1.3 only, newer versions could be left closed) was at least released for free (I'm not talking about open sourcing it), you could just get a full free legal package anywhere on the internet, one click, and here you go.
Apple released old software, you don't have to buy your CPC ROM,... it should be the same for the Amiga...
I believe this would increase emulation and Amiga's usage: there is nothing to loose.
