Default An Open Letter to Dave Haynie
Hello Dave,

You have more than once claimed that the MorphOS Team has stolen AmigaOS source code. The latest incident happened on amigaworld.net: "We didn't steal a single line of code from AmigaOS… The MorphOS people did not not-do any of those things."

I'd like you to put up and present your evidence to the public. If this is not possible please send such evidence to my email address at sintonen@iki.fi for my review, and acknowledge sending it in public.

Alternatively you can of course retract your claims. An apology wouldn't hurt either.

Best Regards,
Harry Sintonen
Member of the MorphOS Team

I do not have an account on aw.net, nor was I willing to create one just for this (and I'm not particularily fond of aw.net in general, although it has gotten much more sensible lately). I do not know Dave's email address either.

By the time I posted here he hadn't responded yet.

I'm not sure that dragging this crap onto A.org was the right thing to do. If it meant that much to you, you should have replied at the source. Not here.

If I had worked as hard on something as Piru and the rest of the MorphOS devs, and someone, no matter their god like status with some, started dragging up these old accusations without any evidence,then I would be really really pissed.

I see nothing wrong with wanting answers, and Yes he does have an account on here HazyDave.

It Defo is about time he actuallyput up or shut up as somone else said.

I couldn't agree more.

After reading Dave's recent personal insults to the MorphOS developers in Amiga Future magazine along with this recent comment on AW, I have no respect for the man at all.

“Socialism" is no more an evil word than "Christianity." Socialism no more prescribed Joseph Stalin and his secret police and shuttered churches than Christianity prescribed the Spanish Inquisition.

These accusations, without any proof, have just removed all respect I have ever had for Dave Haynie.

What has he done for the Amiga community over the last 15 years? Why is he repeating these unfounded allegations now and stirring up more flames?

Harry,

Much as I respect you and your work on MorphOS, this kind of thing is just a waste of time. Let's not piss off one of the few Amiga legends who still bothers to maintain an interest in Amiga developments.

Let's just delete this thread shall we?
