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 256 of 280 | ANN.lu |
Posted by KenH on 07-Jun-2002 22:54 GMT | In reply to Comment 253 (Marcus Sundman): >Noone has been against licensing. Are you listening? I'm getting tired of explaining this a thousand times. Other people have also explained it countless times. Yet people doesn't seem to get it.
I assume you're talking about wanting OS4 on other harware too along with having licensing?(if that's not what YOUR saying please let me know...again)
If it is what you're saying, then I've addressed it....having a copy of OS4 out there that anyone with POP can buy will dull the image of Amiga to those who have not experienced it properly:
ie Jonny buys a copy of OS4 and installs it on to his Apple (hypathetically). Jonny shows it to Russell.
OS4 crashes constantly with the Apple.
Russell says "Amiga is crap I'm not buying it and I'm going to tell all my friends that Amiga is crap too" |
