A bit of old news

http://www.osnews.com/story/19781/Sme ... hat_Should_Be_Open_Source


(For the record, I don't think that it, the last one in the list, should be open sourced, but x86 is spot on for me)

@orgin

and only 3 amigaones sold :) a tad off the correct amount :)

@poweramiga

Yea, must have meant 3 models or something. Not that it makes any difference.

@orgin

You're right. Open source is probably not the solution for OS4.

Actually a friend answered this very well on one of the swedish forums, but I lack the time to translate it right now. I agree with most of his words:

And with that link, I don't have any more to say. ;)

@orgin

Oh there exists a Open source BeOS project some where, but I think its dead

Well this few lines says it all, open sourceing it did not help.

As for AmigaOS4, I don't think open sourceing it will help, the lack of license is what's keeping it back, there exits hardware out there like PS3, Sam440, Elfika, MacMini, but it impossible because of on going legal problems.
