If you get OS3.9 it comes with a full version of Genesis.

Which again is unlicensed copy.

Haage & Partner really suck behind.

I thought AmiTCP was GPL, hence the AROS and MorphOS ports?

There is a GPL version of AmiTCP (3.0b2), but it's quite outdated. MOSNet is based on this GPL version.

The MorphOS 1.5/2.0/xyz built-in network stack is based on the latest full AmiTCP/IP. It is properly licensed.

Genesis on AmigaOS 3.9 may be unlicensed but unlike Miami in 3.5 it is not as crippled as that. As far as I know its practically the full version. I have used it and never came across any thing that was 'crippled' in it.

It's the full version. The license payments were never made, and the transfer of rights to Haage & Partner violated the license agreement, too. In a matter of fact, every sold AmigaOS 3.9 copy contains pirated software (pirated by Haage & Partner).

@Framiga

Where did I blame the user(s)?

I was even careful to point out that Haage & Partner is the wrongdoer here.

And yes, I'll continue to point to this problem whenever AmigaOS 3.9 included AmiTCP/IP is presented as spanking perfect solution for lack of TCP/IP. Unfortunately it is not.
