Look in SeeHund's sig.
Errr... That's got nothing to do with open sourcing AmigaOS. That's not about giving away stuff for free, on the contrary it's about actually trying to sell a product.
Even though I personally think open sourcing AmigaOS would be a good idea, I don't see it happening. AInc owns(?) AOS <=3.1 and Hyperion owns what's been made for 4.0. Sitting on IP seems to be AInc's entire business, and they're not giving away their business voluntarily.
Until Genesi makes a computer that beats at least the Mac in price/performance (the Peg2 is a step in that direction it seems, at least if you buy it with Euros) and AInc realises that there is no "Amiga hardware" to try to control, it looks like AROS currently has the best chances for both survival and growth among the Amiga-ish alternatives IMO.
