AFUA visited Thendic-France : Comment 605 of 629 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Frodon on 29-Apr-2002 09:51 GMT | Hello Samface,
I disagree to your arguments and it's my rights. I'm not the only one and more competants persons in the law subject also disagree to your arguments.
You are free to think that you are right, but personally I don't see why MorphOS which read the Amiga ROMs in their original format does infringe the Amiga Inc's IP more than A/Max Mac emulator that use the Mac ROMs to make MacOS running on AmigaOS for Apple's IP. It has been proved by the court that this is legal.
Also I've reread the part about reading the ROM in original format, it doesn't not mention the infringing problem in this case. This problem is yes mentionned for the case of the users using a ROM copy with an emulator that should not infringe the IP of the ROM/BIOS maker.
But even if it was the case, MorphOS A/Box do nothing more infringing than A/Max and A/Max have been proven legal in court. MorphOS A/Box allow to run AmigaOS on MorphOS and A/Max allow to run MacOS on AmigaOS. A/Max use Apple Mac original ROMs to run and MorphOS A/Box use Amiga ROMs to run (for now).
This is exactly the same and A/Max is legal so MorphOS also. Period (and a real one).
