Release is planned to December this year.

@Duce

I am sure you would not pirate it but someone else would so it just wont work.


People who buy it now would still buy it: where's the loss ?

 Not every Amiga user is so honest than you are.

It's not a question of being honest (do you mean people pirating software aren't honest ? I'm afraid all Amiga users who pirated MacOS copies for their emulator are not honest then ;))

It's a question of being a die-hard fan. And you have to be a fan to buy a 170 euros licence for a hobby OS (by saying so I'm not saying huge work hasn't been done). And die hard fans will buy the OS, even though it could be pirated. So I don't think there would be any loss. The only lost is for "honest" people as you call them that have problems transferring licences,...

But indeed, who didnt have pirated MacOS copies?

Die-hard MacOS fans ? Much like die-hard MorphOS fans ? ;)

Any idea how to restrict this to "1 copy paid for, 1 copy used" and not being shared to friends? I have no problem understanding what you are trying to say here but it just isnt possible.
Why would you want such a restriction ?
If his friends are fans, they already have (or will) bought it. If they are not, they wouldn't have and won't buy it. By not restricting it, you gain a new user, maybe a new developer, and you don't loose one.
