I can appreciate the effort here, but every purchase of this justifies (in someone's mind) AmigaOS' continuing status as proprietary software. At this point, it should be re-licensed and made available under a permissive open source license -- liberated to its users, in other words. Why are we messing around with anything else? Whoever this benefits financially surely is not making much of an income from it, not that an income is proper justification for this in the first place.
Please, stop trying to OWN everything, and let us have this thing that has meant so much to us for so many years. Respect a rightful kind of commons. Lets make AmigaOS legally available on GitHub so that we can patch it and improve it in public, and with all the benefits of public scrutiny and feedback.
