I think both OS's are in pretty much the same situation.


Co-operation time?

... and now you know why, even after the startup frenzy of the 1990s, there is still only a small handful of highly succesful tech companies. Read up the OSNews article on RiscOS and you'll see a surprising number of parallels with the Amiga situation. Self-destructive behavior seems to be the norm with small tech companies.

You can't have 40+ entities owning pieces and parts of the OS, everything needs to be collected under one single umbrella (which then of course can be jointly owned by those 40+ entities). Code needs to be separated from coders. It can't be allowed that key things lives or dies depending on the current mood of individual coders. There has to be *one* entity, with absolute power and rights to close deals with any kind of entrepreneurs.


Exactly the point I'm trying to make myself. And you are right, it is most important to have the absolute rights to the OS when it comes to making business deals and additional partnerships. How else can you guarantee your partners that you can continue to support their hardware with new updates and features, when you don't even own the rights to the sources?
