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.

AmigaOS 4.0 on Pegasos : Comment 87 of 510 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Samface on 15-Apr-2002 16:18 GMT | In reply to Comment 83 (darklite): "Then explain to me why AmigaForever is legal..."
Simple. They've got a specific license from Amiga Inc.
"Or are you suggesting that MorphOS would be legal if it compiled all the PPC parts to 68k code once again and run them inside the 68k emulator of MorphOS?"
No, it would only be legal if they had a license agreement with Amiga Inc.
"Also, since OS4 is supposed to be out soon ON PPC, and if MorphOS would claim OS4 compatibility, MorphOS is perfectly legal, as it runs on the same hardware."
Still without a license.
"Okay, linux then... IIRC it's a reverse-engineered version of some UNIX for the x86 range of processors. I didn't see mr Thorvalds (sp?) getting sued."
But then, Linux doesn't use any UNIX parts and also, it's the same hardware. A fair comparison would be Thorvalds releasing UNIX running ontop of the Linux kernel on PPC. |
