Even more than about the tools is involved... can you seriously see people
like my friend Ben Hermans contacting people like
lots-of-millions-heavy-Activision about "We need another license, this time
about a hobbyist-project called AROS ?" I really can't see this happening...
The same applies also to the bigger project QNX also, though, despite it being
a commercial one... and also to PowerOS... they are all "no names in the
business in question" how Ben told this to me once. Amiga is a name. Most of
these guys (Activision, Ravensoft, whoever...) have some employees who once
*had* an Amiga. So it is known.
AROS is surely a nice developement, but it is no solution to the Amiga problem.
