one question.. this is a closed source project, right? i assume so, because in the download section there arent any sources. i dont recall any mention as to the license under which it is published and i must admit i did not download it just to see if there is any license file.

now, since an amiga version is distributed with amikit, it does look like there is some exclusive agreement. is that so? or does the situation look different? i just dont comprehend the situation very well.

Especially as Damato does some scientific work. Usually a certain set of command in regard of copyright and citing is required and culticvated there. Well, usually...

Come on. We have enough work on developing MorphOS, you can't expect us to develop OS4, too.

No, I was not taking about developing AmigaOS4.

We are taking a MUI a cross platform GUI toolkit that came first for AmigaOS3 then MorphOS and AmigaOS4.

Developer chose to develop programs using MUI because it is cross platform compatible.
The two teams are working on the same thing, so way not setup a common source code repository, fix the compatibility's and sort out the copyrights.

Quote:

There are enough queries to open source this and that so it can be used for OS4.

I don't care if it's open sourced or not, the only thing I care about is if the MUI programs I use works or not.

I have already paid for MUI once, I'm happy to do it again, but sort out that silly ordering system, because last time I paid I did not get a Key file.

Components discussed here: MUI classes

Well it a shame if there can't be a common MUI for everyone to use, making some that looks like some else is not illegal, and be the only way for keep source code compatible.

Quote:

Components discussed here: MorphOS SDK

Well people are allowed to use the SDK to make software; I see no problem with that, the problems comes when copyrights are changed, or distributed without consent.

At least this my point of view.

What was the point of MUI4 for OS4 when there is Zune?

Because if they took Zune they'd have to share with the rest ?

Given the shit Ben Hermans gave AROS and MorphOS over copyright of the Amiga Technology 3.1 handout, this is utterly appalling.

Modifying the copyright statement when you are not the author is theft, plain and simple.

@damato

What you call that clear and simple mistake which clearly wasn't done intentionally is neither a simple mistake, nor a involountary issue due to a machine-script misfunction. You can't, in any given circustances, change author's name in ANY kind of human work without his/her written permission, pretending "Albert Einstein" made that instead. It's not respectful either for A. Einstein, and for the real author too! Would you be happy if someone stole your writings and attribute them to themselves, just because he/she wasn't willing enough to look for your email address, and ask you?

What you call "simple mistake" is a disrespectful violation of copyright laws. Probably no one will be sued for this, and the mistake will be fixed in short time, but given the particular "cold war" running for years between Amiga camps, and the few money moving through them (I agree with you here: it's a madness, but there's little we can do about that), volountarily replacing an author's name for, well, absolutely no reason, is an absolutely unfair and avoidable action. I wonder what kind of advantage it took, and I've been really happy to read the apologies.

as it took them twelve years to copy that stuff over, maybe the justification for this is that they consider it now abandonware? ;)

Given the oft-touted legal expertise at Hyperion, I'm sure there is an acceptable explanation.

I suspect this copyright violation is from same source as original topic of this very thread. As Piru notified Hyperion about this problem, I expect it will be solved in no time... or not.

Maybe it just took 12 years to get notepad in a state it could edit the headers?

It is my hope that you will not give up in your quest for justice, and I do wish you success.
Maybe then Hyperion will finally abandon that crap and do something a more proper way.

I'm not criticizing what MUI is nor the coding skills and idea behind it. just that it does not belong on AmigaOS. Good luck.

This latest addition is not MUI specific though.
It's the include and autodocs for btree.library

@Develin

No problem then. I still don't like it.

It's probably good on MOS, and if they ever port to aos equipment I'll have no problem with it.

As I wrote, I suspect it is from same developer as OS4 MUI. It truly belongs to this thread.

Ugly thing!

It seems problem is even worser than I thought. I just compared V36 dos.h and dos.h in MorphOS 3.9 SDK: little bit added, comments removed (some empty lines are obviously relic of copy/paste and removal of original comment - eg. line between error 232 and 233). Not only Hyperion, but also Commodore stealed code from MorphOS!


Edit: Wrong version.

Could you post them up on pastebin so we can see? It's only fair since you seem to be eluding to something. :)
