    You forgot to mention one thing.

    Ambient is now GPL

    BUT

    Ambient is tied strictly to the underneath MorphOS Operative System.

    So first:

    1) MorphOS has to be UN-TIED from Ambient Legacy...

    (or it must continues to use only Ambient environment PREVIOUS to GPL)

    2) Provide another standard GUI

    3) It mus be created a compatibility library for ALL the GUIs which must be of free distribution, in order to bypass GPL legal restrictions.

    In this new enviroment supported by a generic GUI library, Ambient MUST BE ONLY A FREE CHOICE *AMONG* OTHER GUI's environments.

    So the user could choose to use (or not) a GPL GUI such as Ambient, or a standard MorphOS one (or even an old one such as DOPUS) ***without*** harrasing the whole OS or even the Software Houses with any danger or any legal need to declare their software programs GPLed.

    However, be happy.

    Ambient is about to become only an external GUI that you are free to choice for (and to use or not) into your MorphOS.

    :-D
