Next MorphOS version: 3.0! (Not 2.8)

[Karlos]

No, I dont belive that all those who have paid for MOS license would pirate it..

That doesn't actually read a lot better, to be honest. Returning customers are trustworthy, but not potential new ones?

I don't yet own a machine capable of running MorphOS 2. Though I must admit I never much cared for the licensing model, I have absolutely no intention of "stealing" the OS if/when I do get one. IMHO, most of the users left in the amiga community that are remotely interested in "next gen" scene aren't likely to be the old game disk pirates of old. They all buggered off to the chipped console market years ago. What's left are genuine enthusiasts who I am willing to guess are mature adults with jobs.

Does it say so? Well, lets try again:

I just think not everyone would buy MorphOS license if they were given a chance to use it without cost.

Well, that certainly sounds less of a sweeping condemnation of new users, which was the bone of my contention.

You seriously think that if the OS would be available say for Mac HW this kind of thing wouldn't happen?

It would but frankly I don't really know much of a difference it would actually make. You'll always get people that believe it's a crime to pay for anything, but the amiga scene is so small these days that it seems only real hardcore fans would remain and of those, an even smaller minority of people are OS4/MOS users.

Maybe I'm wrong about that.
