Looks like a pressed CD to me in a non-original slimline jewelcase.

But he does say (paraphrase) that this is a shareware/freeware version of OS3.9, so there's no licensing violations.
I'd like to hear his explanation of that.

Actually he/she doesn't. It reads to me as the seller's paraphrasing the opinion of people that 3.9 was nothing more than a bunch of 'shareware/freeware' hacks.

-edit-
Actually the auction description is nothing more than a copy-paste from Greg Donner.
-editedit-
He/she apparently *is* selling CD-Rs judging from the last entry in the feedback.

Hi. I don´t know what´s your problem. As I said this version is shareware/freeware. The Amiga dealers sell this update without any problems and all are copies.

amigakit

You can go and complain to amigakit.com which sells the update at 34.65 inside a plastic bag. I am sure that a firm as important as this one know all about breaches of copyright. Please do contact them and complain.

Best regards.
