AFUA visited Thendic-France : Comment 492 of 629 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Frodon on 28-Apr-2002 09:50 GMT | In reply to Comment 487 (Bandaren): Hello,
Yes it has been a very interesting trip indeed ;)
But has it has been a MorphOS related trip there are always "anti-MorphOS" people that try to find some illegal stuff in MorphOS ;) That would be fun if the "anti-AmigaOS" guys do the same with AmigaOS as if we read the law badly we can also find some illegal stuff were they don't exist ;)
I'm quite impressed how Samface lose his time trying to find parts of the laws that could invalid MorphOS but he don't have the knowledges to do it correctly and he read just parts of laws but if he had read the laws completely and correctly he should have noticed that laws have always EXCEPTIONS ;)
yesterday I and David have shown him one of this exception that prove that reading an ROM in its original form (the original chip) by an emulator (vermind if he don't run on the same hardware or OS) is legal with the example of the A-Max emulator which is an hardware based Macintosh emulator and use the original Mac rom chips for AmigaOS (so it runs on Amiga hardware and on AmigaOS) has been proven legal by in the court! And today Samface continue to say that's illegal.
But anyway the MorphOS A-Box is not an emulator, it's an AmigaOS APIs compatible layer with NATIVE rewritten APIs compatible with AmigaOS APIs the only thing it emulate is the 68k processor so even if Samface were right with its argument (but it has been proven wrong ;) ), it'd not be applicable the the MorphOS A/Box case.
Note that all what I said here has now been verified and proven so I ask Samface or anybody else to not try to say that's wrong because that's not.
Regards
