[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 9 of 69 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 04-Feb-2003 00:14 GMT | You know, in my opinion, it's asking a lot for the MorphOS team to ask users to invest time, money and effort in an OS which even the blind faithful have to admit, is on the bleeding edge of legality in many countries. When asked to provide some evidence or documentation which clears MorphOS of any infringement when another company has threatened them with lawsuits, the response is usually hostile and unforgiving. You'll probably see examples of it in response to this post.
A hack to remove the trade name "AmigaOS" and replace it with the word "MorphOS" underlines just what a thread the legality of MorphOS is dangling by. The product legality may be a splash in the pan to most users, but when it's used by someone in a position where the threat of legal issues is a serious matter, I think responding with anything other than professional legal answers is something to raise a questioning eyebrow to. |
