If a programmer were targeting the pirate version of MUI4 say of an OS3.X program, what kind of problems would he face porting the program to real MUI4 on MorphOS?
Wouldn't it be more productive and helpful for all users and programmers if the team of MorphOS developers who maintains and adds improvements to MUI for MorphOS would license their work at a small fee for the AROS and AmigaOS3.x & 4.x platforms?
I don't expect them give away their work, or to do the work for other platforms that they are not interested in using or supporting, but our community has such a small amount of software development, having different MUI versions which complicates compatibility and makes it harder to port software to ALL Amiga inspired platforms, is not a good thing for any of us. It seems to me that a small license fee for the other platforms to be able to use the same version of MUI would be the best and simplest answer to solve the incompatibilities caused by different forks of MUI.
MorphOS - The best Next Gen Amiga choice.
