I usually don't post responses in this area, as it can get quite heated, as exemplified by the fine gentleman above who got 'triggered.' There is a cost to everything, even freedom. Unfortunately, you may not like hearing that, but there is. There was a cost to produce the machine you're using, all the way down to paying the person who mined the minerals for the batteries and other materials. Even Ubuntu and open-source projects like Debian get kickbacks for including specific browsers and keeping search engines defaults out of the box, amongst other tactics like Debian's 'popularity contest.'
The PowerPC market is not growing; in fact, it is shrinking as machines get older and die. The market share (just PowerPC Macs, not including third-party machines) gets smaller each year. What a lot of people don't think about is the aspect of continued support and browser updates, along with email. The WebKit browser and Iris email clients are always updated, usually monthly or every few months, basing everything off the current WebKit branch. That time and energy help support that. Without that support, we would end up with projects like TenFourFox, which, with all due respect, is aging, and continued hobby development is far and in-between (big thanks to Wicknix and Cameron). But without funding, the project may die, along with its software development and support. You have to understand they don’t sell a **** tone of licenses every year maybe a few and that few keeps this project on life support. Then there's the question of price. 'Make it cheaper,' some say. How much cheaper to where it would just make more sense to stop development because it would not be worth it anymore, and then the project dies. If this project had been free, it would've honestly been dead at the same time that asteroid wiped out dinosaurs 66 million years ago, but alas, we are left with Amiga survivors, as with all extinction events usually have those holdouts, and that's what MorphOS is. Just my take. 😂
