[Forum] Serious bug in IBrowse 2.3 | ANN.lu |

IBrowse 2.3 falsely claims MorphOS system is using AmigaOS.
Particularily misleading since MorphOS systems are reported as running AmigaOS 4.0 !!.
There exists a crude hack that just replace all "AmigaOS" strings with "MorphOS", and
"3.1", "3.5" and "3.9" with "1.1" or "1.2". Better solution should be provided by the IBrowse authors.

Serious bug in IBrowse 2.3 : Comment 12 of 69 | ANN.lu |

If you were a lawyer would you tell your client to blab about any legal proceedings that might take place? Any such public statements would offset any such legal proceedings. It's possible they are waiting to release OS4 as a product before proceeding to the next step of possible legal action. They also might be waiting for OS4 to be released and "fixed" (like IBrowse) for OS4 to work on a Pegasos without the proper licensing required by Amiga Inc. There are limitless reasons why nothing has been said. Have you ever tried to contact a company in the middle of a legal situation, they have a standard script they are coached to read to anyone who questions the infractions of a legal standing if there hasn't been any form of public statement posted. There's a slight DUH factor about the whole "they haven't said anything so there's no legal battle". Call them up and ask them what their legal stance is against MorphOS, I'm sure you will be given a line that leads to nowhere. So the lack of indication is more of an indication that there is something happening behind the scenes rather than the other way around. Think about it. |
