AMIGAplus 02/2003 - A wolf in sheep's clothing : Comment 178 of 194 | ANN.lu |
Posted by greenboy on 28-Feb-2003 23:02 GMT | In reply to Comment 135 (MrZammler): >> #5 (bbrv):
>>" P.S. As we have said many times, eventually if there is an OS4 it WILL one day run perfectly on the Pegasos without a dongle. BUT, we won't do that and will not need to support the effort, one of you smart gals or guys will sort this out. Of course, you could start discussing this on <PhrojectOS@phinixi.com>...;-) "
> MrZammler :
>They say that they wont support the effort, but, hey, they even setup a mailing list for it!!!!
Wrong, boyo. From
http://amiga.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?forum=1&topic_id=6724&post_id=92460&viewmode=thread&order=1#92460
(this is me talking atcha): "And BTW, nobody from Genesi or Phoenix is advocating PIRACY. The Phoenix PhrojectOS workgroup is working at porting OpenSource stuff like Mozilla and designing projects that will use Pegasos with OpenSource OSes - various flaves of Linux and BSD, etc, and has some pretty talented people from the Open Source (and QNX/posix) communities involved."
>Bill is 100ure that it WILL get cracked.
Sure he is. Anything that has ever been dongelized or copy protected is just practically an open invitation for people who get off on building a cracking rep. Like, duh! Look at the track record for copy protection. It's a red cape for the cracker bull. Seehund has it right: this is not an anti-piracy measure, this i more like a captive market value-subtracted reseller (VSR) move.
>Unbelievable, from my point of view...
Perhaps BBRV could have stated all this more clearly. And perhaps people who want to paint him LIVE EVIL make sure they misinterpret it as well as they can ; }
...Well, while I'm here I might as well do another pull quote from that Amiga.org thread. It's another kind of fudbuster, incidentally - from the GameTeam@phinixi.com list. Jolyon Ralph of Almathera by way of self-introduction mentioned this a couple days ago (put here with his permission):
"Oh, and a quick word about the rumours about Almathera/Viscorp - a lot of things were said about the demise of Almathera and Viscorp's part in it, some attributed to me, which were simply not true. If they were true I wouldn't be so happy to be working with Bill again, and I'm certainly happy to!"
