Apple is really funny about its code. Look at what happened to the companies that were making Mac clones. I know that for a while Apple allowed companies to make clones of the Apple // and //c's, and then the Macs.I was wondering if people think that we could convince Apple to open the source code to GS/OS. If they were to do that, it would mean that we could more easily enhance it to take advantage of new developments in hardware and possibly even produce ports to other 65816 systems (the SuperCPU accelerator available for the Commodore 64 and 128, for example) Do people think that it would even be worth starting a petion about this? I for one think it might be, as Apple no longer supports the software AND already distributes it as Freeware.
When I bought the rights to GBBS I had to agree to a lot of things in order to get access to some data.
It might be an error on Apples part, but then they are a different company. Had the code been made public there might not have been a Microsoft.
