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 270 of 280 | ANN.lu |
Posted by KenH on 08-Jun-2002 10:37 GMT | In reply to Comment 260 (Seehund): >Yes! That, my friend, is the solution proposed by the petition.
Now would you please consider supporting that stance with your signature?
I'll have to go and read through the petition. The impression I got is that it's not stated as simply as that and people jump to the wrong conclusions. Even if it does state this though, I don't think you have much to worry about. Petition or not, Hyperion aren't going to do something that will limit their sales of OS4. If they find that sales are low with the licensing route alone, they will surely bring out a "protected to the hilt" copy system too. Indeed, I think I read somewhere sometime that they may already be considering this. So, in my view the petition is just a little premature. Let something get out there first.
Although, I do praise the constructive method you choose to express your views and perhaps it's presence has had an effect already. |
