@DiskDoctor

Of course not.

The only obstacle I can think of comes from the Amiga IP owner, but Hyperion seems free to do whatever they want with the OS now, so...
MorphOS is Amiga done right! :)

They are doing their own box.

Maybe "B-box" (B for Boing) perhaps? ;-)

moana version is illegal


Regarding the topic of this thread: "Only" from a copyright point of view (of the moana files).

FYI "Moana files" have been stolen to the author ... you decide if its only a matter of copyright then


There are no special laws for the Moana files, it is the same copyright laws regulating the duplication and distribution of the Moana files as any other software, movie, music, etc, which is stealing in exactly the same sense.

i meant to say that the Moana files were stolen from the author laptop, along the laptop itself ... have you got it now?



Oh I got it the first time. Leeched it, lost it, whatever - it doesn't matter *how* it got out in the wild. Duplicating it and spreading it without the IP owners permission would be a breach against copyright laws, it means stealing in exactly the same way as to duplicate and distribute a music recording, a movie, a book, a computer game, etc. However, you can't claim that "moana is illegal", which is what I replied to.
