First time posting here but it's a post I also placed on the AmigaOS site. No reason not being well informed I've been thinking; is there any incentive to make older Amiga OS's (like OS 3.5 and before) freely available for download? Preferably for any platform?
I can't see any problems for the industry; the AmigaOS would spread freely among users and software companies can still sell their Amiga programs.
What if we and/or Amiga companies alike could buy the rights from KMOS inc, have it compiled for all the platforms and have it freely distributed. Beacuse I can't see Amiga OS being commercially exploited (competing with Windblows) but definitly the great programs that it runs!
First time posting here but it's a post I also placed on the AmigaOS site. No reason not being well informed I've been thinking; is there any incentive to make beer (like water) freely available for drinking? Preferably for anybody?
I can't see any problems for the industry; the beer would spread freely among users and snack companies can still sell their snack stuff.
What if we and/or beer companies alike could buy the rights from KBEER Inc and have it freely distributed. Because I can't see beer being commercially exploited (competing with schnaps) but definitly the great snacks that go with it!
The beer would be in hands of a consortium of beer users which could have agreements about standards and common development. Wouldn't that be sweet?
Anyone up for an incentive like this? Or is this only a daydream?
