It was said to me once, though I can't recall by whom, that there could possibly an offset. Anyone with a very low number care to chime in?
I guess you mean that the very first registered sale of MorphOS2.0 had a number higher than "One" and that is the "offset" you are talking about.
I wouldn't know anything about that, but I would be surprised if one of the MorphOS Dev. Team members did not correct our misconception about the number of registered license keyfiles before now, if what you guess is true. They do not seem to be concerned about hiding the number of registrations, like Hyperion and most other companies. That is a fact that I give more credit to the MorphOS Dev. Team, that they do not feel compelled to practice such silly business practices as hiding the number of licenses from their users.
We all know that we are part of a very small group of users and no one tries to fool anyone into thinking differently. I am not saying that Hyperion actively tries to fool anyone into thinking that they have a larger userbase than they actually have, but they do refuse to release their sales numbers, like most companies.
