Over at amiga.org, the signature "takemehomegrandma" has published a somewhat satirical post - for your enjoyment, here goes:
I want to apologize that the AmigaOne has still not been released (A1 mobos+OS4). I also want to apologize to our competing companies that we have accused for crimes in public without being able to back those accusations up with either proof or legal action. I also want to apologize for not keeping our promises to you developers who bought our expensive SDK's. I also want to apologize to the users who bought our coupons, ehrm, JOINED OUR CLUB, but has not been given anything of the promised. I also want to apologize for the confusion when our offices suddenly were empty and our phones went dead (but that was a result of hackers, remember). Amiga Inc is truly a global 24 hours a day company and the future looks brighter than ever for our beloved AMIGA. We are pleased to announce a Games Pocket Pack to our friends Micro$ofts Pocket PC. This truly shows what a great commitment our 3000 content developers has to our beloved AMIGA. Wonderful things are about to happen as allways. Thank you, as allways, for your support. Keep the AMIGA spirit, and remember to follow our trademark wherever we go. We are AMIGA. You are AMIGA (if you pay us 50 bucks). We will be back with more exciting announcements during the next weeks. See you then! /Yours McBill
Well, there you go. Merry christmas!

"Season's Greetings from Amiga HQ": Hm? : Comment 204 of 220 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Frodon on 27-Dec-2002 18:41 GMT | In reply to Comment 201 (Frodon): Hello,
What really convinced me that MorphOS is perfectly legal is that I know people from the OpenBeOS development Team, and what they're doing is reimplementing BeOS APIs using publicly available developers documentations like the Be Bible...etc
This is exactly what the AROS and MorphOS Team have done. The only difference is that the MorphOS Team use some work doen by the AROS Team to help them to reimplement the APIs faster as the AROS Team have already done most a lot of work in this aspect.
And of course this is perfectly legal to do that.
