That's the drama so far yes, nice conlcusion.

Regardnig AROS hardware, I hope "some people" realize that those two guys selling AROS hardware actually are contributing more to AROS than "some people" probably ever donated in their lifetime. It's a give and take and to me it seems they've given alot more and I doubt they   yet made one cent profit.

Just wanted to point that out.


As the original hardware guy of AROS, let me explain something.  Without having any OEMs supporting AROS, AROS will have zero chance in having real growth.  This is chicken and egg bit, AROS needs the OEMs as much as it need Devs.  Not all Devs are seeing the fruit yet, well, life is never fair either.  They either need to advertise their talents for pay or deal with it until AROS can grow large enough for paid Devs to become a reality.  I do question how many Devs are not happy with it since they got involved in AROS, a well known open source project, if they had intentions of getting paid for their work in the first place.

Last time I checked, Linus is not getting paid a royalty either by the OEMs.  But he is in a OEMs funded job.
