That's the "sanitised" version.
Here's what the real one looked like:

...and no, that's not what the commercial version would have looked like.

i see from http://www.umilator.net that Bernie have been subscribed from the
Amithlon Yahoo group together with his girlfriend...
That he checks up and reads in the amithlon lists must mean he still have
some interrest in the community ? :)
I got the impression that he would leave the whole amiga platform and never
turn back both as developer and user....
The umilator shoots looked good :)
are the paper taped onto the screen or drawn to look like this on the logo ?

heh.
I thought there would be some great news from the show.
Guess not.
I can't believe they took the chance of showing Amithlon.
I'm glad the cameras are there.
Wow, what a mistake.

Take the time to read and you might have spotted the image was on Aminet. You then might have spotted that the picture was taken at an Australian user group meeting.
Wow, what a mistake!

It really is a crying shame. I bet I'd be even more pissed if I had the pleasure of fully seeing what we're missing. It was said that Amiga inc had big plans for this release, and in this one instance, I could believe them.
This whole situation just plain old sucks.

It really just makes a sane person want to go out and shoot someone. I can't stand it, it really is an outrage. I hope beyond all hope that H&P goes out of business in the next year.

What's so special about that picture ? Showing GPL'ed Linux tools as Screenshot and naming it Umilator is kinda stupid.

Isn't that what linux news sites do? Show screenshots of GPL software named Redhat, Slackware, etc? Why would an Amiga site not show an Amiga tool?
Anywhoo Umilator is not GPL. You can do the legwork yourself to find out for yourself as I'm tired of the same old troll as the likes of this one.

In reply to Comment 17 (T_Bone):
Actually you would make a funny pet but that's almost all. Amithlon is stolen UAE code as we all know and as it was prooven many many times. Showing some GRUB or LILO bootloader screens is not UMITHLON. Now repeat it.
Haage & Partner are thiefes,
Bernie Meyer is a thief,
and every supporter of this is a thief too.
Amithlon depends on UAE and LINUX code and therefore written by others to be released under GNU/GPL for one reason, to support the free software community, to help other people getting into development, to share a philosophy, to give something back to the community and other FREE Software writers.
WHAT DID BERNIE MEYER gave back to the opensource community ? He uses GPL'ed Software to write his POS stuff and don't intend to give something back to the opensource community.
Oh and don't reply that he got permission from the Copyright holder of UAE. You will repeat yourself many times now. Regardless to this many others have a different opinion but a lot of the people that Commercially bought Amithlon have 5% Braincapacity to understand what GNU/GPL stands for. They don't care at all because they live in a different computer community where they are used to STEAL things for the past 10-15 years. Those who use opensource for more than just 2-3 days think differently.
By the way 'Showing Bootloaders is not Umithlon!'

No, but this was the actual boot screen of the Beta version of Umilator.
Umilator have no actual look, it looks just like AmigaOS.

IF they had been serious, THEN they woudl have stepped in and resolved the issue. It is easy for them to do.
That they have done fsck all apart from McEwen making false announcements last year and then wringing his hands this year only goes to show what little interest they really did have.

Please post information which clearly says that meyer has not recieved permission to use the 3rd party code that he is using. Currently you are just expressing an opinion without facts.
"Amithlon is stolen UAE code as we all know"
Do we all know that? Are you a statistics organisation? Where are the facts to support that there is stolen UAE code in Amithlon?
I'm generally interrested in this issue, so please post some real info. Thanks.

This isn't about that. It's about why anyone should take your anonymous word for it. You'll need to present far more facts than you have to do that. Opinion alone does not prove anything.

Nothing there states nor proves that Amithlon uses stolen code. Yes it may seem as if the writer avoids his own question. But that alone does not prove that he does not have permission to use that particualar part of UAE.

Actually, he didn't. The issue is fully addressed in the lines that follow the bit our anonymous cowardly troll quoted. It's called "selective quoting" and "taking things out of context".
There is no GPL code in the Amithlon binary. End of story.

Now for the narrowminded amongst us. UAE is GNU/GPL and all derivated code from it has to be GNU/GPL too. End of story.
You Mr. Bill Hogget are a dirty liyar exactly as the other pro Bernie Meyer crowd. Show me the fucking agreement that Bernie Meyer signed with the UAE people. Scan that crap and put it as jpg on a fucking webpage for us to see that you are not speaking out of your ass.

In reply to Comment 25 (Anonymous):
As said earlier and well from Bill Hoggett, these are all 'selective quoting' made by you. he way you expressed yourself it could be easy o agree with you, but with a little research is easy to deconstruct your logic...
The points are:
1) Amithlon "sits on top of a modified linux kernel" and as such it is under GPL, and it source is open;
2) It's clearly said that he had to ditch a lot of UAE modules and replace them with his own. For the ones he need he had reached an agreement with their authors, who gave him a *non-GPL* licence to these pieces of code.
so...
a) "releasing some code under the GPL does not mean the author is giving up ownership of the code. What it does is to grant an irrevocable license to everyone to use and do certain other things with the code."
b) "This license is non-exclusive. The author may choose to grant additional licenses with other conditions."
leading that is to
c) "If the author produces derivative code, based on code he released under the GPL earlier, there is absolutely no need to release that new stuff under the GPL as well."
but if someone don't wan't to pay for it,or had acquired only the GPLed version, he can only use the GPL version, "bounded by the conditions placed on him by the GPL."
Check your facts first...

I hope that HP, publishers of some really good Amiga software, don't go out of business because people feel vengeful because of their dealings with a souped-up Amiga _emulator_.
So you've lost your emulator. Get a Pegasos.

Thats not true, but if you're that narrowminded you don't care about the truth.
Didn't he actually write a lot of the code for UAE that got reused in Amithlon?

People who are obsessed with open source have serious mental problems.
"Use Linux instead of Windows XP to get one over on Bill" ( well I guess you could use the money you saved to buy a clue ).
There are some good pieces of GPL software, there are also other open source projects that have avoided GPL for various reasons. IMHO GPL is like communism. It also allows you to steal from programmers, by trying to take their rights away & you still get to feel ok about it. Fortunately, it is possible to dual license & the LGPL isn't anywhere near as stupid.
