From YellowTAB's site
"Zeta includes quite a lot of open source software. YellowTAB was able to include software like bash, GCC, VLC, to name just a few, with Zeta and thus profit from the work of many thousands of developers. However, programs do not always work straight away when compiled for Zeta and may require changes to do so. We make the necessary changes and fix bugs to make sure that these programs run smoothly on Zeta. Now it's time to give something back."
And give it back they might. But what I see here is a failing attempt for a fairly nonfunctioning OS to try to get other Devs to support their cause. While I recognize the effort put into an Amiga-based OS, I fail to see as to why NOW they would espouse FOSS , when they should have done it at the point of development.
Honestly, let them sit on our backs and hoist on high their efforts to produce an OS, I dont see it improving any or getting better, and the money I spent to purchase a copy did nothing more than give me a new coffee coaster.
