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...

About what? never mind, thank you for participating :)
Let's not have "sides", lets just discuss. The only thing that can come from an intelligent discussion are good things. The only thing you get from "sides" are flamewars :)
I'd truely like to see representation from Amiga step in and discuss this with a group of people, or at least address these concerns. We are the people who will drive the platform foreward, and our concerns are valid, hopefully we can discuss this without those of us who share these concerns being labelled as a militant faction :). Our concerns are not for any one particular board, but they are for our one OS of choice, AmigaOS4, the Real Thing. We'd like to see it in as many places as possible, and are concerned that the current licensing, while being implemented to prevent piracy, does little to promote legal distribution via hardware availability on an otherwise open and growing platform. |
