Pegasos show in Stockholm : Comment 10 of 12ANN.lu

In reply to Comment 9 (Lennart Fridén):
"even YOU could've noticed the smiley in his post."
That's *exactly* what I did, and if he was joking I think he should've chosen an appropriate smiley (or preferrably none at all, the tongue in cheek tone would've been obvious!). Now he used a :-P ("yuck"/"I'm disgusted" etc.) instead, indicating that he actually meant it seriously. Maybe it's that new misinterpretation of the :-P into a "happy face" GIF image at XOOPS sites like amiga.org that has caused some confusion.
Anyway, I apologize, Samface and Lennart.
In the light of Samface's... ahem... "well-known" trol^H^H^H^Hposting history, and with that smiley, I misunderstood the "joke", but it doesn't excuse me going out of line with those insults. I'm sorry, I was an asshole, plain and simple as that.
With that out of the way...
"Or do you expect every OS vendor to develop HW?"
I most certainly don't and and I most certainly wouldn't want that in the AOS case. I hope that even ainc one day will realize that Amiga OS is dependent on 3rd party hardware (that's the very core of their AOS business plan for crying out loud, nobody will make any Amigas anymore), regardless of what extra limitations they invent to actually REDUCE the available hardware base for AOS.
"It's very simple. Amiga Inc. holds the rights and if you don't like their license scheme, fine don't use their IP. The computer industry is not some form of charity..."
Exactly, and that's one of the reasons to why this licencing scheme is so detached from reality, to put it mildly. It is simply not compatible with sound market economics, and will kill a good product (AOS). The market in general won't abstain from buying ainc's IP (AOS) because they do or don't *like* the licencing scheme, people aren't that idealistic, they won't buy it because it's made an unnecessarily crippled product - they'd have to buy a particular new piece of hardware via a particular distributor, there's a 100% unnecessary extra "barrier to entry" to overcome to actually buy the product.
