- Pardon? We also speak with Motorola, and they offer every help they can
- to make our PPC project fly. But porting *our* OS themselves was not
- among their offers. And I don't think that was the case back then.
- Support for sure, but not doing the work for C=. It would also create
- very strange copyright problems for the future, I fear.
