Since you're so informed, please tell all of us how much this license costs.
Well it cant be that much seeing as eyetech could afford it.
I... To be honest, checking the old announcements about AmigaONE and OS4, criterias, etc. and the recent Ask Fleecy answers...
I have no idea. I'll explain why. OS4 isn't out yet, but Eyetech can comply with the criterias and expectations. Eyetech didn't even had a working board, when it was AmigaONE. The story goes on, and on...
But the point is - I doubt that it'd be the same for anyone as for eyetech, as it seems to me the "standard" for the criterias are are always Eyetech itself.
As to what licensing fees they pay for OS4 we don't know: I even dare to presume that ATM nothing, as OS4 isn't out yet.
Another puzzling point how will OS4 sales handled. Will it be an additional cost for AmigaONE owners? If it's already "built in" in AmigaONE cost, then where is this money? (There are already AmigaONE boards sold) At Hyperion? If not, then when will they receive it? When OS4 is ready? But what about their rights to sell it, which can be purchased back?
Pretty a dozen open questions, so I don't want to jump into conclusions. I don't even hope that we will receive answers, as these are business secrets.
It'd be exciting to know the answers however :-)
