Good god, OK, I'm scared.

BBRV/Genesi or any other remotely relevant hardware producer don't "want" AOS4. They want to sell hardware, and AOS doesn't help sell hardware any more than the other OSs which already run on their hardware. Rather the opposite, I'd think. Either way it's worth neither money nor time to try to get permission, a licence, to be allowed to try to sell AOS bundled with and dongled to their hardware. For their sake I hope BBRV are only wooing AmigaOS loci in their spare time when they have nothing better to do...

AOS4 can NOT do without commercially attractive hardware. Else it can't be sold. None of whatever pointless projects which have gotten their pre-progress reports pre-pre-pre-announced are commercially attractive.
Hardware vendors CAN and DO do very well without AOS4.
That's the major reason to why the compulsory hardware licensing/bundling has failed and could not possibly work. AInc's failure to realise this and adapt to reality is why AmigaOS 4 is almost as dead as the Amiga is today.
