Re:Early Macintosh Emulation Comes to the Archive by floatboth on Monday April 17, 2017 @06:45AM (#14130171)
The Amiga world is massively more copyright-happy than e.g. Apple.

There was a legal dispute around OS 4 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_AmigaOS_4_dispu...

MorphOS, the popular AmigaOS clone, is also proprietary and "the price is 79 EUR for one laptop or desktop computer" (lol that's more expensive than an iBook G4 you can run it on)

The accepted way to run emulators is https://www.amigaforever.com ($$$), using pirated ROMs is very discouraged by the community.

Aminet only hosts freeware/shareware/FOSS!

Meanwhile, Macintosh Garden hosts pretty much everything for Mac OS 9 and earlier (and some things for OS X PowerPC too). You can get all OS 9 versions of Photoshop. MS Office. Baldur's Gate. Fallout 2. And Mac OS itself.
