Or you simply have tons of licensed copies from the decades of usage.
So I wouldn't give a shit about that detail.

  Correct. If you buy V4 and want to Use AmigaOS 3.x you have to obtain a "legal" (there is some story to ell about this :-)) license from either Cxxxxx or Hxxxxxx.

 
This topic can be highly debated.
Some people claim that these "companies" not own the license but sell warez ... And you can the same way get the files from a russian FTP server.

I would propose not to go into this topic here.
The only thing which is 100% certain is that ApolloOS kick is legal.

I agree that this topic has a fuzzy story behind it (as I mentioned), but as a company I would never advise or suggest endusers to download illegal stuff from any site. It is good practice to give guidance.

Having said that, I do recognise that the legality of Cloanto AOS3.1 and Hyperion AOS3.1.4 is debatable, but in practice these are the only sources for Vampire users to obtain AOS3.x in a "regular" way.

It is not my intention in any way to re-open any Cloanto/Hyperion discussion here on the forum as this helps no one.

Best solution is to make ApolloOS the big succes we all want it to be!
