[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.

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
Sure, the silence, considered alone, is open to interpretation. I'm not sure how valid your ideas about the reason for delayed action are, though. To me the "lack of indication" is exactly what it appears to be.
But the bottom line for me is that projects that can go forward should go forward, on their own merits, and see what they can do in the marketplace. If another individual or company initiates court action, then legal issues can be hashed out. Until then, speculation by outsiders, such as in this thread, is pointless, and repeating old accusations serves no good purpose. That is their prerogative, of course, but it reflects more (and more badly) on the accuser than the accused.
