A Poll concerning the AmigaOS + Hardware licencing Amiga Inc have dreamed up has been posted @ Amiga.org. The poll was set up so that the community could gather a better idea to how many people like/dont care/hate the licenceing. Those who also think its too late to do anything, also get a chance to vote. Thanx to Wayne Hunt, Amiga.org Administrator for fixing the Polls :)

Amiga Inc Software Licence - Poll : Comment 22 of 22ANN.lu

Newsflash: POP isn't the same thing as open firmware. This means making the AmigaOS4 "open hardware" is *impossible*. Every POP motherbard will need a specific AmigaOS4 HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) and this requires support from the hardware manufacturer itself. The license is good because it enables any hardware manufacturer to get AmigaOS4 support for their hardware, this would be alot more difficult without such a license.
