Ambient & DOpus5.9 may be Open Source, but MorphOS certainly is NOT, so any changes you want to see in the version of Ambient used in MorphOS will need to be requested from and created by the MorphOS Dev. Team.

Does it? I thought that was the point of open source.

Though my point was rather that since both Ambient and Dopus is open source, there shouldn't be any legal reasons against using code from the latter to benefit the former (except maybe if they don't use the same GPL).

Nice idea, its not a license that is questionable, but amount of work for the dev team. Even that would be Dopusfantastic

Meanwhile, nothing against firing up separate file manager, as usual

I doubt very much that anyone outside the MorphOS Dev. Team could makes changes to how MorphOS Ambient looks or works, but I could be wrong (I have been proved wrong many times before).

Anyone can build and spread his own Ambient but these changes would indeed not be included in MorphOS distributions.

It is also highly questionably if there is any Dopus code that would even be worth using.

Well, that's as good as explanation as any not to do it.
