Amiga Exec 1.2 disassembled and commented : Comment 34 of 56 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Don Cox on 23-Jul-2003 14:24 GMT | In reply to Comment 33 (AFOIA): "Now that we know that EXEC sources were flying around
since 1989 Amiga Inc has no grounds to sue morphOS team
anymore: they haven't stolen them. You can't stole
something is available to the public. ;-)"
We always knew that there was a German printed book of the ROM dissassembly, which probably many serious German Amiga programmers own.
That doesn't directly make the code open, but it could be argued that as Commodore did not suppress the book, they have not protected their copyright. My guess is that this would make it hard to take legal action against any similar book, but not necessarily against a functioning ROM or image containing the same code. |
