Felix Schwarz, with immediate effect, freezes the development of
fxPAINT, fxSCAN, VHI Studio and the IOUSB- and VHI-drivers. Medusa and
IBrowse are external developments and thus are not affected.
All products will stay in distribution. Whether the development will
be reactivated at a later point in time mainly depends on the further
economical and social development of the market and the profits made
with it.
The AMIGA-pages can be found at http://amiga.iospirit.de/ in the
future. Although www.iospirit.de currently still redirects to this
page, we nonetheless would be glad if existing hyperlinks in
AMIGA-context would be adapted accordingly.
Subsequently, you'll find an open letter from Felix Schwarz to the
AMIGA-community in all its occurences.

| IOSPIRIT freezes its own AMIGA-developments : Comment 29 of 69 | ANN.lu |

> Can you open your car and remove the brakes because you hate brakes? Nope.
That's crazy. Of course you can. I've removed brakes on several of my cars in the past. It's perfectly legal* to do anything you want to a car, so long as you don't drive it on a public road while without key safety systems. (ie brakes, lights, etc.) This is only for public safety, though. If I own private land, and want to drive a car with no brakes around on that private land, I'm free to do so.
(*US citizen - not sure of all EU countries regs, but I think they're similiar.)
As for the brakes I've taken off cars, I have always put a better braking system back on... But I have able to make those modifications to increase performance and driving enjoyment.
So, by your argument, I should be able to do the same with software I've paid for. If I don't like a module, I should expect that it be fixable/updatable. OOOOOPS!
Of course, this whole convoluted argument is poop. Purchased software isn't a product, and can't be treated as one. It's a license to use some bits. Nothing more. To me, there's just not much (if any) value in that. |
