Jens is full of it and anyone who believes he's done this out of some sense of altruism is a chump. I would have had more respect for Jens if he just said "no" and skipped the bs. It's his to do with whatever he pleases, no need to make stuff up.
Where does he claim it is out of altruism? On the contrary:
1) He claims it costs him money and time in support to deal with people who buy his other products and blame them for problems caused by the Apollo cards.
2) He claims it takes Amiga's off the market. And while preventing that might benefit users if it's a real issue, it certainly benefits him to keep as many classics as possible around too: The fewer classics are around, the smaller his market becomes.
You might not believe those are real reasons, but he's hardly pretending it's out of altruism.
