It's not AmigaOS, it might as well be Windows for all I care.

Have you ever used MorphOS ?

Legal problems apart (I'm not saying it's a good thing, or we should forget about it...), saying MorphOS is not AmigaOS is like saying Haiku is not BeOS, or like saying ReactOS is not Windows, or like saying AmigaOS 4 is not AmigaOS... All have been rewritten from scratch (yeah, that includes OS4, it certainly doesn't use much of AmigaOS'original code...) and are binary compatible with the original. So I don't get it... What does make an OS "AmigaOS" to you ?

They still don't understand clean room development. If you have seen the Amiga source code, you cannot produce a legally separate work-alike. So any copied comments are absolute proof that the code is dirty. And they're not rejecting my claim, if you go back into those linked documents, that the comments were copied.


@Itix @hazydave
That's a good description about "clean room development" IMR the laws in the US and the EU are quite different. In the US you have to do a clean room development. The laws in the EU are different, as long as you don't copy the code nearly everything is legal. Stealing code in the EU means you have stolen a document, it doesn't matter what kind of document it was. If it comes to court case someone has to prove the code was stolen.
