AFUA visited Thendic-France : Comment 226 of 629 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Graham on 25-Apr-2002 17:24 GMT | In reply to Comment 223 (gz): UAE itself isn't illegal as long as it is not shipped with ROMs or OS, unless they are licenced.
I don't know whether a software implementation of the functionality included in the custom chipset is illegal - I don't think there is anything there that is patented or unique anyway.
Take Shapeshifter - in itself not illegal, and not illegal if you used legal versions of MacOS and ROMs. Of course it had it easier than UAE because there was no 68k emulation or custom hardware emulation - it just had to provide a view of the Amiga hardware that MacOS thought was Mac hardware :)
And how does this relate to the alleged illegality of MorphOS on Pegasos? I don't think it does, I think the issue is different. Unless MorphOS reimplements anything that is patented in AmigaOS of course, but I think nothing of this sort has been implemented? |
