On an ANN thread Bill and Raquel comment on their attitude towareds AmigaOS4 and it's appearance on the pegasos.
"If AmigaOS4.0 is fully finished and running natively on a
PPC we will be happy for Hyperion and Amiga Inc. Undoubtedly, in this community
there will be more than one person who will copy a legally obtained copy
of the operating system onto the Pegasos. How will Amiga Inc. stop this?
We cannot control this and neither can they. If AmigaOS4.0 becomes what
it is claimed to be – great! We will sell a few more Pegasos machines.
Thanks Hyperion! We wish them our best. We have absolutely nothing against
this effort."
Personally I think that no hardware developers who don't licence the amiga
name will pay money for certification to get os4 running on their boards.
However because the pegasos and the amiga one share the same northbridge
and BIOS (atm), it should not be difficult for a developer to port os4 across
to the pegasos. The question is; Will Hyperion and Amiga Inc allow this without
wanting money from Bplan/Thendic France? And does it matter?

Thanks Hyperion? Thanks for what? If Hyperion never makes an official OS4 for Pegasos, what is he thanking them for? He should have said, "Thanks suckers" or even more appropriatly, "thanks crackers", because only they will make OS4 run on the Pegasos. And of course they know they will benefit from this as they will sell more machines. So of course they don't care about OS4 piracy and it makes little sense for bPlan to help Hyperion since they've placed their bets on MorphOS. Face it, it's a split community and everyone is looking after their own interests. There's no consipacy theory, it's as clear as glass what's going on here.
