some clarification from my side about the current MorphOS-MUI situation. in the end of 2003, it became clear to me that genesi had payment troubles. instead of simply dropping out, i continued to work for free. we were all promised repeatedly that the situation would clear up, so that was not as insane as it sounds :-). after a few months without things changing for the better, i started to look for alternatives. I did not want to hurt MorphOS but i also would not allow my work to be used without compensation at all. My offer then (back in May 2004) was to give MUI4 (and future versions) to Genesi for free (with all features enabled, as always on MorphOS) and at the same time release MUI4 for classic Amigas and OS4 as shareware update. i also thought that a unified MUI4 would benefit everyone. the offer was denied back then and is still being denied right now. MUI4 is almost finished meanwhile, even though development was slowed considerably due to the unclear release situation. so thats where things stand regarding MUI. there's nothing legally binding that could prevent a joint classic/MOS/OS4 release, i just wanted to do things in agreement with the remaining morphos-team. doesnt look as if it's happening now after the recent public rants, but hey... maybe things will still turn out nicely one way or another... you never know :) jan 19th 2005, stuntzi
