AFUA visited Thendic-France : Comment 295 of 629 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Samface on 26-Apr-2002 16:20 GMT | In reply to Comment 293 (gz): First of all, read Lennarts post above. Then I have a few points to add:
"AI is right to defend their brand and rom's but wrong in not taking part with the legal issue a long time ago."
I'm no BAF and don't simply believe in them because they have the name, be sure of it. But, you're not giving me a valid argument here. It's MorphOS duty to make sure their product is legal, not Amiga Inc.'s. Why is it so hard to understand that you as the developer of a product have to make sure that your product is legal before actually releasing it and preferably before developing it, as all of your work could just as well be for nought.
"MOS is wrong in being too proud and not seeing how it could benefit evryone if they would just sign a deal, but then on the other hand they are right defending the years and years of hard work they have put into their project without EVER receiving any help from AI for it."
Excuse me, but why should Amiga Inc help the MorphOS team? Why do you seem to think Amiga Inc. owes them something?
"AI stepped in suddenly and demands control of their project. who would swallow that without taking an issue with it?"
Well, tough for them. Like I've said earlier; they should've thought of these things before. The legal concerns for MorphOS is the responsibility of the MorphOS team, not Amiga Inc.
"Also to reply on your post where you said that people who want to make a difference should join the police or take up on politics... Well I wonder what the author of prayer mp3 player Tamara Cjetinski would have to say about that.
Are you saying that..." <snip>
You should know better than going into specific political matters like that. I won't even go into that argument and instead I'll simply tell you that the IP of Amiga Inc is hardly an evil regime bombarding civilians, ok? On the contrary, I could just as well compare the MorphOS team with a guerilla which tries to take over the power without the people's approval. We're not living in a third world country and the MorphOS team has the option of using the democratic system like everybody else.
"Wasn't communism originally a very nice and humane idea? Yes. Did it work in the real world? No. It didn't. It became quite the opposite because the world and people has rainbow colours instead of just 2."
>NIL:
"Making things too simple is not a good idea, which is what you did when you were giving analogies like that."
Yes, very much true. But then, complicating things more than necessary isn't a very good idea either. Like your political stuff, for example, what does it got to do with anything? It only stirs up things which isn't topical anyway. |
