Why not make Amiga OS4 run on Power Macs? Even a cheap E-Mac has better specs than AmigaOne.

Yes, why not?

I doubt Apple would a) Agree to Amiga Inc doggle b) Would allow any commercial OS on their hardware and not send in the lawyers.  YDL is of course, OSS.  

a) is what's in the way (it's dongle, BTW dammy ).
No hardware vendor, least of all Apple, will pay AInc to become an AmigaOS reseller, get the laughable right to use an absolutely meaningless "Amiga-something" name for their hardware, provide AmigaOS end-user-support, marketing etc., and provide any dongle mechanism for AmigaOS.

b) doesn't matter, Apple doesn't care about what people choose to install on their Macs, and even if they did they would have no right to interfere.

Don't you feel better about Amiga Inc protecting you from crappy Apples that don't meet their rigid quality inspection.

Yay. AmigaOS - "protected" to death.

But ISTR that I've addressed some of this recently...
