Haiku OS uses the "MIT License" which is also commonly referred to as the "X11 License" since X11 was one of the most prominent projects using a slight variation of it. It is not a Copy-left license.

@eumegaf this has just about happened.
-
@eumegaf He meant that it was under the *lax* MIT license, and it could be detrimental for the future of the project.

@eumegaf It has the potential to have speed, but it doesn't yet for many reasons. As far as I am concerned, it should mostly be written in C, not C++. We will see what results from this after everything is well optimized and fixed up, but until then it is ridiculously buggy and not fast at all.

UGLYY!!!

Did you ever get wifi working?

In 2011 this does not look that fast: a Macbook Air fully boots in 14 seconds, this thing in 22.

too bad no software devs acknowledge it

Haiku OS : "Multi-platform document-oriented GUIs"by miksze3,206 views
Another problem with Haiku is its X11 licensing, its development on a permissive platform can easily be the death of the operating system. Any company can learn from them, even directly take code, put it to use in their product and release the whole thing (well everything but the GNU Tools) as a new proprietary operating system. In other words, the main problem with Haiku is: even if they do develop something great, it may not remain Free Software forever, it may damage itself in the long run.

@TheJakeDTH Haiku does not use X11 or any other kind of graphical server.

People running Haiku seem to always talk about its speed, but what they don't realize is that once they've added support for all the different kinds of hardware assuming they can get companies to release code for it (if the Free Software Foundation can't, no one can) and improve on the looks the operating system will slow down. Also, Haiku doesn't run any better then something like Damn Small Linux or Debian GNU/Linux with LXDE, and both D.S.L. and Debian have much more stability and support.

@TheJakeDTH Haiku is fast because is well developed, the speed is in the programmers mind. Haiku is meant to be fast.

I wish I had an SSD. I'm running it on my 1000HA. It doesn't do too bad on boot, from Grub to fully-useable GUI in about 11 seconds. I can't wait to see what they're going to call a stable release, though, as R1 A2 is pretty sweet as-is.

@arinlares I hope the SSD get more and more cheaper soon, HDDs mus DIE!
