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 60 of 280 | ANN.lu |
Posted by MasterOfReality on 06-Jun-2002 10:43 GMT | In reply to Comment 59 (Menthos): Edit out the <nofact> bits and your post would be perfect.
You're exactly right.
Imagine you're a dealer. You see a nice cheap POP board and want to
sell it as an A1. You phone up Ben and ask him to get a HAL written.
You put him in touch with the manufacturer. He asks you to put a
little USB thingy in the box with the OS. You do it. You sell the POP
board. You sell the OS separately is you want 'cos the POP board
won't run it without the USB thingy. You phone up Amiga and get the
branding licence. Everyone's happy.
Unless they're so stupid that they can read something 10000000 times
and still not get it. |
