The main issue is who's hands Amiga will fall into.
And I see the Genesi side as a grave danger.

Great danger of what?  Having owners who actually know how to get a product out to market AND know how to market it?  Owners who would rather tell you go get F'd instead of blowing sunshine up your ass?  Oh yeah, great danger there, knowning exactly where you stand with them for which they are not going to sugar coat it for you.  

If getting the straight answer without the fluff and lipservice is a great danger, put me on the highway to the danger zone.

Here's what I don't understand.
Maybe someone can help me here.

How can someone build a compatible API without getting information from the origional source code?

And if you build api's that act exactly like the origional enviornment, then you would have to write it the same way, although you would extend it further.

And the available documentation that you speak of also would have to be source code.

Correct?

So no matter how you say it, it always comes back to the origional source code.

If you're going to emulate the Amiga OS and extend it, you're gonna have to do it with the origional source code.

Correct?

What other documentation would there be that would even start to help that is not source code?

Doesn't make sense to me.

Is NT source code been released?  If not, how do you explain:
ReactOS

yes and no. lol

U.K. government gets access to Microsoft source code

I'm still waiting for his explaination about ReactOS having the same API as NT without M$ releasing the source code.  I have a feeling I won't be getting a reply from him.
