osopinion: Close That Open Hardware! : Comment 161 of 169 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Janne Sirén on 16-Jun-2002 14:42 GMT | In reply to Comment 151 (Adam Kowalczyk): >> You're missing the Barbie, one of who's developers has already spoken about

And the fact that you don't consider Barbie a realistic option means that no one else does either and thus the petition is all about Pegasos? Oh c'mon, take a leap of faith and try for a second to believe there are people out there who have a larger issue to support on this.
Sure, Barbie may be less feature rich than AmigaOne (or not, who knows), but so what? It may still be an interesting development to some people.
Again, as the petition says, the petition itself is not against licesing. Optional licensing could still be done. The petition is about as large as possible choice for the consumer. Even if you yourself won't make a choice outside the licensed range, someone else might be interested.
Oh well, more I defend the petitions rights to exist more it seems to make sense for me. I guess that's cognitive dissonation at work (don't know if it translates to English like that). |
