I call bull!

Jamie,

If you are a well paid Amiga Inc. employee, nothing stops you from finishing AVD in your spare time. If you feel so much loyalty to Amiga Inc., nothing is stopping you from contracting your employer to publishing and distributing your product. Working on it does not violate any contract you should have with AInc. as it existed prior to your employment, per your own words.

In the end, to me you have fallen for another one of McScrew'em's community knee-capping efforts.

In your post, you ignore the existence of SAM and OS4.1. You don't need OS4 sources to write software. The dev paks are available. To me your words look very calculated and I can't help feeling like you are just a lapdog now.

If you are working on a competing OS...then what is it? I don't see any competition other than MorphOS and AROS. You are not an OS developer, you write apps. Lack of OS sources should not stop you from writing apps.

If AInc. had such an open and shut case, then none of us would still be discussing this excrement. You don't work on AVD because you choose not to. Plain and simple to me.

@Seer,
If AInc. cared about this community, and wanted to rebuild community support they could offer a refund when the coupon or "Party Pack" disc was sent to them. No such offer will ever come. All there is is a legal case to get something for nothing.

ps,
AROS looks more and more like it will be the winner as I postulated some time ago.
