Heck, even the guys from Hyperion are on record for complaining bout that licence from while to while.

Nobody denies this. But I think the critics don't opose the license itself, but would prefer a bit more flexibility. I think, still, all parties try to run a business thru it (AInc, Hyperion and even the dealers). A common agreement is necessary to reach that goal.

Maybe the current form is not perfect, but I think no matter which route you go, there will always be some rough edges.

Well, what I don't understand (and don't get this wrong, I appreciate the effort), if a "free" solution is what we want, why is AROS not there yet? It supports x86 (a main stream HW), is not bound to any licensing scheme, has tons of developers (thru open source) and is in development longer than AmigaO4.

I just think we can debate this up and down. Won't change a thing. Finaly, some products will emerge, and the frustration will hopefully decrease over time (I don't expect it to disapear immediately. There will still be cases where a product is too expensive, not powerfull enough, etc. Also, even in this case, you can't please everyone).
