Amazing how much drama that can happen around failed operating systems that no-one cares about beyond a few diehard fans.
Similar thing happened with RiscOS, where weird small companies fought over scraps rather than open-sourcing and benefiting everyone. AmigaOS (and RiscOS) was amazing for its time and still has a lot to teach, so for it to be locked behind such nonsense is a pity.
Am just glad that the various people behind RiscOS did actually manage to get it together and open it properly [0].
(Still sad that Magic Cap got swallowed by IV, never to be seen again.)
