Note, *emulation*.

So, is MacOS emulation legal?

Well, that's completely different matter.

afaik, MacOS has license, that grants permission to run it only on Macintosh hardware.

Minigl license permits developers to compile only for AmigaOS, but no matter how I look at the license text, it doesn't seem to forbid running resulting code on other operating systems...

(Of course developer could make his own license)

As far as I know, emulation is legal. Do you know of any court that has declared otherwise?

And as Jupp3 says, even if EULAs were legally valid, the MiniGL licence does not forbid emulation.

Hi Rogue

Mr Hans J. Frieden, Senior Developer ;-)

-----

Go on using MiniGL on MorphOS, I don't mind. I just wanted to bring this minor fact to attention for the next round of Hyperion badmouthing. Maybe you'll find that certain things would be missing if it wheren't for us.

-----

I think perhaps you, or perhaps Hyperion, have to make up your mind if you like, or if you dislike, that MiniGL software can be used, or not be used, on any system that can run such software.

Also the link you gave above leads to Nowhere land. :-o

And to you also... looking forward to fiddle around with OS 4 and ExecSG... :-)
