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 246 of 280 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Donovan Reeve on 07-Jun-2002 20:41 GMT | In reply to Comment 227 (Marcus Sundman): Yes, I believe that would be a good solution. Sell the O.S. with a dongle
for retro-fitting to unliscensed motherboards, but be sure to include a
PROMINATE disclaimer in the package that the use of it on unliscensed and
unsuported boards is just that...UNSUPPORTED. Thus, if the user cares to
experiment with getting AmigaOS to run on other hardware they may, but they
will have to figure it out on their own. This could start a whole new group
of Amiga-savy people who would could become Amiga developers.
Dear Amiga:
Liscense motherboards with a rom extension and gaurantee their compatability,
but also sell AmigaOS with a dongle for those who buy other boards and are
willing to take the risk of no support. If they find some which work, you
gain an increased user-base. If they don't find any which can be made to
work then they will still have to buy a liscensed board if they wish to
have a new Amiga.
Personally, I just wish AmigaOS4 would hurry and get available so I can
spend my hard-earned cash on it and an Eye-Tech board.
I WANNA NEW AMIGA!!! :)
