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 146 of 280 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Menthos on 07-Jun-2002 05:39 GMT | In reply to Comment 130 (JoBBo): (comment from middle of discussion)
"Second point of the licence:
***Such hardware and its distributors must be approved and licensed by Amiga Inc. and the hardware distributors must also sell and support AmigaOS4.***
This is unacceptable for Pegasos and MOS developers."
Again I will point out that I don't know what the license have in it (except the one stated above, but I haven't read that one anywhere other than here).
"running AmigaOS4, must be delivered with OS4 ONLY. "
As stated in the one comment at the top the "OS4 ONLY" wasn't the problem. And as I haven't heard anything else (but now) about "OS4 ONLY" (must have missed Ben's comment) I don't know what to belive here... =/
But if this i true it's rather restrictive I admit... But all I have heard is that if it can run AOS4 it must be delivered with is (nothing ONLY about it). But I may be wrong here...
