Amiga wants you! : Comment 153 of 160 | ANN.lu |

Following up on your claim that MorphOS was started in 1997.
http://www.morphos.net/news1.php3 shows 'First Press release (1.5K) for MorphOS, December 23rd, 1999'. Unfortunately, the link is broken. I'd assume the First Press release would be the offical announcement for the product. Additionally, the copywrights are shown 'MorphOS WebPages ©1999-2003 ' Checking the files pages there doesn't seem to be any before Oct of 2000. Thus, you're saying MorphOS started in 1997 and it took them 3 years before they had file 1? I think your date is a bit wrong they're about as old as Amiga Inc.
AROS copywrights are 1995 so a bit closer to 8 years old. http://www.aros.org
However, the point wasn't what year the point was though other projects exist it's up to Amiga Inc. to protect their intellectual products and attempt to stop these organizations if their activities are illegal. Not protecting allows them to operate and causes further fragmentation of what is an Amiga user. |
