osopinion: Close That Open Hardware! : Comment 160 of 169 | ANN.lu |

Agreed, I do wish so as well. Some good points have been made here, and I do appreciate people making them. I still do not see it as fundamentally flawed or FUD, though. Quite the contrary.

Sure, IF the petition was only about Pegasos. But clearly it is not, and you are apparently refusing to believe this. I believe it to be a petition on a larger issue, that of open AmigaOS hardware platform, (be it Pegasos, Barbie or any future technology).
You listed some good arguments in your post why you think the licensing is good for the market. I appreciate these immensely even if I don't agree with all of them. This is the kind of debate we should be having about this petition. We should discuss and support the issues. Not blame the petition for some hidden agenda - that is all I'm against, not openly discussing the issues themselves. |
