>Encrypted ROMs Which of course protects nothing, and is easily worked around. But it is still evil. People will go on to claim that Cloanto isn't evil, and that the only reason they haven't open sourced AmigaOS is Hyperion. Yet Cloanto does shit like this. I wonder if these same people can explain how this helps.

Where did Cloanto ever refer to this as "encryption"? It is a simple XOR, and it is open source. They always said they were "encoded" because Amiga International or Gateway asked them to. ROM encoding has been supported by UAE since 1997. (Interesting takeover attempt by the usual "anti Cloanto" trolls.)
