Hi All,
I think that only industrial clientele will be able to buy Samantha without AOS4.x CDs.
It would completely defeat the premise of why licensing was created if AOS4.x capable MBs were available for general sale, and AOS4.x was COMPLETELY optional. Sales would be near non-existent (is my view).
If the hardware is sold only with OS4, then the hardware company will go bust, and there will no hardware for those who want Amiga OS 4. It's suicide for all involved. Remember OS4 ATM uses a different Uboot setup also. For the boards to be priced low they are going to have to have a market to sell to. Sell it for all the OSes - Linux, BSD, Amiga OS, Morph OS, Solaris etc. if it helps to keep hardware available for OS4, who cares. It's about survival.
OS4 needs to be written for more platforms and not rely on a specific board or its DEATH.
