Surely they should be talking to the devs about their position rather than publically talking about ditching them from the team? I'm a bit confused with that one...
See, there's the modus operandi of Bill Buck. It's not Bill's fault because they hired people then refused to pay them for well over a year, it's the employee's fault for not working for free. I honestly believe that in his own mind, Bill Buck sees himself as a victim of all of this. He's already writing on morphzone how he's a martyr and none of this is his fault...
It is apparent by Bill's own posts on MorphZone that they have no intention (or desire) to continue MorphOS or any support of the Pegasos in the direction of the Amiga community, so IMCO he will not pay any of the developers in question for their work, because (quote bbrv:) "MorphOS is not our main priority".
The Amiga community was used and harvested for people who would help demonstrate the possibilities to other Linux companies such as Freescale. Once those people were no longer able to be used, they were abandoned, usually without several months' pay. Points of fact: myself, Christian Kemp, Dale Rahn, most of the US Web Team, the four listed on the morphos.net site, and there are probably dozens more that will surface at some point.
Still, people will continue to rabidly defend and support the continued dishonorable actions by Bill Buck, and that absolutely amazes me.
