Say who ? I thought it was already said: We do want to support the Pegasos board. It's firmly planned. Unfortunately, we haven't received a developer board yet, but if we ever get one, OS4 will run on the Pegasos.

You just can't help being patronizing, can you?

I did not say decompilation is legal. The MorphOS team didn't need to do any decompilation. If you think they did, prove it.

Why are you ignoring the fact that there's no decompilation involved?

And the MorphOS team used publically available developer docs to reconstruct the AmigaOS API.

And the MorphOS team have reverse-engineered AmigaOS to make it compatible. As OS4 will run also on PPC, your 'same hardware' argument will be useless too.

Bla bla bla bla.... you seem to be sure, sue them. You know as well as me as it isn't as black and white as you claim - it doesn't take a lawyer to understand that.
Here's an idea... neither of us post comments to ANN on this matter until you have settled the case in court. Deal? |
