osopinion: Close That Open Hardware! : Comment 122 of 169 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Adam Kowalczyk on 14-Jun-2002 16:56 GMT | In reply to Comment 121 (Marcus Sundman): "My comments are my oppinion and are nothing more than harsh criticism. I'd like to call some of you the worthless bunch of copyright infringing pirates that some are."
Marcus, please read my oppinions more closely. I did not indicate that I thought everyone was a copyright infringing pirate, but that some are (and some will). I've also said (in previous posts) that if people do run a hacked version of OS 4.0 on their unlicensed board to have the decency to buy a legitimate copy....even if it is one that would work on the CSPPC/BPPC. Time will tell who the pirates are, and that goes for all platforms.
My biggest point about why Amiga's licensing plan makes sense is that is supports the companies that support the Amiga. Tratech does not support the Amiga, bPlan/Thendic does not support the Amiga, MAI does not support the Amiga. The companies that deserve the rewards are the companies supporting the Amiga and not producers of unlicensed hardware, regardless of the use of a legitimate copy of the OS or not. If it weren't for Eytetech, we wouldn't have an AmigaOne. We might have MorphOS running on the Pegasos, but we wouldn't have an Amiga. |
