Bootable Disk
Is it legal to distribute parts of the workbench and system files per this tutorial in order to create a bootable disk for a custom developed game?

Re: Bootable Disk
CU Amiga used to come with a bootable CD-ROM.
If it was legal for them, it should be legal for you. Either way, do it anyway.

Re: Bootable Disk
I agree, although it seems like a gray area. I don't think Commodore ever had a problem with it.

Re: Bootable Disk
Commodore had an agreement you had to sign that allowed distribution of all or some of the Workbench files, so that's what happened then. I have no idea what it means today???

Re: Bootable Disk
There was a license agreement somewhere that specified which files could be redistributed. Of course, none of that really matters anymore.

Re: Bootable Disk
The only time you can buy a 'legal' copy of Workbench these days, as far as I know, is if you purchase Amiga Forever from Cloanto. Reckon they might be the only ones to object (but I very much doubt they would bother...)
 Myself, I say go ahead you'd have to be very unlucky to find anyone who would object...

Re: Bootable Disk
Great thank you all for clearing this up. I have just finished configuring the emulator and am now starting to work on the game itself. I will post a thread when its ready for beta testing.
