I think at this point is beneficial for everyone to expand the user base (this probably implies to expand available software, for example), even by decreasing significantly the license price (and thus direct financial income). After all, we are in the age of Linux, and I would say that even Microsoft or Mac struggles (in comparison to old times) to charge large prices for OS licenses. I would say at some point the price will converge to something significantly smaller than 80 eur. If you start to auction MorphOS licenses on ebay (at least as an experiment), we will know for sure what is the market fair price of a license. How much a MorphOS license should cost? Well, we can say that the price that the customers (market) are willing to pay. I understand all the effort required to implement such a complex piece such an OS, but the market price of a product is not necessary determined by the cost of producing it. In my case, I am willing to pay 20 eur for a license. I have just inherited a mac mini G4 and I would like to use MorphOS as my hobby/spare OS.īeing said that, I cannot afford nor justify a 80 eur price tag.
