AFUA visited Thendic-France : Comment 298 of 629 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Samface on 26-Apr-2002 19:39 GMT | In reply to Comment 297 (Kronos): Sigh... Kronos, you seem to have a problem reading or understanding the facts pointed out to you. Read my reply and read it carefully:
>>In any case, it should be noted that MorphOS' legal status
>>is questionable (as has been proven during the last few
>>weeks of ANN ranting), whereas AmigaOS' is not.
>Well afaik Ben still failed to explain why P96 (with CGX-emu)
>on the A1 is legal and MOS not....
No, he made it perfectly clear that decompilation is allowed to ensure interoperability between software, not between software and hardware.
>The only thing MOS0.4 is doing with the Kickstart is replacing
>it with its own code (just like the BBs work). There is no ROM-
>dump in MOS.
Then why do I have to use the ROM file for AmigaOS3.9 in order to run it?
>The only way AOS4 (or WarpUP) can be started on a P5-PPC is by
>accessing the PowerUP-kernel, starting SW on it and removing
>it. The only SW supported on these cards is PowerUP.
If it was impossible to run nothing but PowerUP software, how come I can run the AmigaOS at all? Also, why would it be illegal to flush the powerup kernel out of memory?
>How do you know that Phase5s licence died with them ?
>Have you seen it ? Or the one with MacroSystems (Draco) and
>Villagetronic ?
Because when you get a license, YOU are the only one allowed to use it. Phase5 might have had (I'm not even sure about that) a license but that license died with them as it cannot be passed on to someone else unless the license specificly stated otherwise, which is very unlikely.
I can make a long list for why MorphOS legal status is questionable, can you say the same about AOS4? I didn't think so. |
