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 94 of 510 | ANN.lu |

But WinUAE doesn't have a licence from Amiga Inc, yet it allows me to run OS3.9 on my PC. So are all PC's are Amiga-licenced?

No, it wouldn't need a licence from Amiga, as it's reverse-engineered, which is legal.

Re-read the posts by mr Hermans on this thread and you'll understand.

MorphOS doesn't use any AmigaOS parts (no more), and it's not the same hardware... the whole point of Linux was to have a clone of that particular UNIX for x86 hardware, as that UNIX wasn't available on the x86.

Ok, I meant the OS Linux, the Linux kernel and the GNU tools. |
