They say they didn't. And the only one who really knows has remained silent so far.
And so we circle right back to that point, only Stuntz can clarify this.
So far he's made no comment, which WOULD tend to indicate that he is on board with this.
And guys, they're still paying per user for keys for this.
AmigaOS has to be the only operating system I'm aware of where you buy it, then you need to add to it, then pay for new video drivers, and enhancer packages...
I'd originally stated I might install OS4 as part of a multi-boot system on an X5000.
I'm a lot less inclined to do so now.
Plus, if I wanted to use MUI under OS4 I'd have to pay an additional fee for it.
I don't believe for one minute that they are buying new keys en masse. There have been pirated keys floating round the net for ~20 years. I've been told by more than one person that they are using pirated keys to ”stick it back to those MorphOS bastards for stealing the Amiga OS source” etc.
There's no reasoning with these people, it's cult mentality.
