Like I always said just release KS/WB 0.9-3.1 into public domain and leave the beautiful legacy of Amiga to RIP in the hands of the retro fans who love and cherish

Very optimistic view on what's left of *really* talented coders who could have brought OS3.1-OpenSource into a modern shape. I'm happy with my OS3.9 machines, working stable with very few "updates" (99% from the original OS3.5/3.9 developers). That's it. What followed was mostly a big bang of half-geared wannabe optimizations that renderd my machines unusable. If this is what you meant with "loving and cherishing retro" people fiddling around: No, thanks.

Clean-room reimplementation? Well, then MorphOS is exactly what you are asking for!:)

Yep, technically correct - but they want "open sources". But - as far as I understood - AROS has the same approach (minus 68k compability), hasn't it?
