AmigaPOP.8bit.co.uk is finally online!
Here you'll hopefully find all information you could possibly want about the "AmigaOS distribution policies and POP/PPC hardware petition". I hope the background information and FAQ will be especially helpful to clear up any confusion surrounding these issues.
If you have not yet signed the petition, then please do so now! Please help spreading the word by linking to AmigaPOP.8bit.co.uk. It's not too late to save our favourite OS and a unified POP-based hardware market!
In other news, I have finally managed to get in touch with the PetitionOnline.com administrators. The few abuse and sabotage attempts so far have been removed from the signatory listings. Not that any garbage would ever reach the recipient of our petition, but I understand some thought that it didn't look too good...

AmigaOS + POP/PPC petition official web site : Comment 119 of 280 | ANN.lu |
Posted by TimeWillTell on 06-Jun-2002 16:44 GMT | To find out who is being sincere with their reasons for doing use a
little logic. Amiga Inc. makes money from software sales.
Hyperion makes money from software sales. Both of these
companies say that they will lose software sales if there is not
some form of a dongle to prevent piracy. Why would they lie?
Software sales is their main existence, in Hyperion's case their
ONLY existence.
Seehund has been attacking Amiga Inc. in every forum that he
posts on for the past year/years. Now, he says that this would be
good for Amiga Inc. Whereas, I believe he has every right to
attack Amiga Inc., somehow, his motives seem of dubious origins.
This is seems all the more true when reading the less than sincere
description of Amiga Inc.'s license policy.
I think that many people who have signed this petition have
never spoken to Bill for direct clarification of their concerns, It is
my hope that because of the release of these products, all of this
will be moot in a very short time.
But then only TimeWillTell |
