osopinion: Close That Open Hardware! : Comment 149 of 169 | ANN.lu |
Posted by TBone on 15-Jun-2002 21:03 GMT | In reply to Comment 147 (Adam Kowalczyk): > "AmigaOS users will be hurt because we unnecessarily lose options"
"There is only one option we've lost right now and that is the Pegasos board. Please identify what other options have been lost. I would classify this statement as FUD, if not FUD then it's extremely biased speculation. "
You're missing the Barbie, one of who's developers has already spoken about his take on the license issue.
> "Just don't deprive us of options for no technological reason when it comes to hardware."
"Again, someone is miffed that there are no present plans to run OS 4.0 on the Pegasos. "
That's your bias showing it's slip, not the petition. Like I said, there is a "Real" loss of options already, not speculated, Real. Two manufacturers have already stated publicly that they just don't DO their business this way, face it no motherboard manufacturer does really.
That's the proof right there that the license is damaging. It is, we have less options now, due only to the license. There are -Zero- manufacturers from outside markets who agreed to this license, this is hardly a forward thhinking move, especially to an OS that claims to be moving towards platform independance.
In your counter to the petition, you never did make your case that the license as is, is beneficial in a way that couldn't be implemented another way. In order to effectively oppose the petition, you would first have to show this to be the case. |
