Statement From Bill McEwen on Thendic-Amiga

-edit-

Ya know, I don't want a trollfest, so I won't give them ammunition.  Consider my comments retracted for the sake of peace.

-edit-

Not going to give the trolls any ammunition.  I'm not a lawyer, and frankly neither are the bulk of you out there.  Let's can the legal crap and discuss something more productive.

@doobrey

Or the Draco?  How about the Access?

@JoannaK

I'm also wondering, what EULA?  I have a boxed AmigaOS 3.1 here, don't see an EULA anywhere in the material.

[downix]

@Dan

I got mine right after 3.5 came out, so the price had dropped.  (tee hee)  So yes, EULA's did exist back then.

@tekmage

I wrote what I wrote because it's what I believe.  However, I realized after I got the material from Ray that he was not seeing things the same way I was, and that it would only cause more flaming if I fought him, so I edited to remove the logs to stoke the fire from.

@redrumloa

Yes SIR!

And is 3pm saturday good with you?  

[downix]

@redrumloa

Mopar or no car.

@K

Your attempt to divide will only cause grief, and shrink an already diminished community.  Do you want half, if not more, of the community gone?  All for what?

[downix]

@K

It is doing a lot of good, actually.  It is growing, evolving, changing into something stronger than the force that originated it.  Yes, it is growing, new members drift back in, old geeks with faded memories as well as new kids with high hopes and stars in their eyes.  They come for Amithlon, MorphOS, AmigaForever, AROS, AmigaOS 4 and even Amiga, Inc's own AmigaDE.  

I am legion, for we are many.

@Hammer

Indeed, and the Draco is an example of where we can go and still remain the same.  It lacked the chipset, but held the idea.

[downix]

@Hammer

Depends on which Amiga trademark and logo, I would guess.  But then, how would Hyperion have gotten it in that case either.

[downix]

@Walkernyranger

And what is so not-Amiga about MorphOS?  Or Draco?  How about the Access?  Amithlon anyone?

[downix]

@WalkernyRanger

It runs Amiga software natively.  It was to be the next-gen AmigaOS till an agreement could not be reached between Thendic (now Genesi) and Amiga, Inc.  From a design standpoint, it is everything a next-generation Amiga's operating system should be to win back customers that have left for greener pastures.  

It may lack the name, but it has the spirit.

(not slighting AmigaOS 4.0 here, mind you.  I'm just answering what makes MorphOS an Amiga to me)
