After a great deal of interest from the community, we have decided to officially open the "SkyOS Code Ransom". In a nutshell, the SkyOS Code Ransom is a system to encourage developers to port various software packages to SkyOS, as well as a way to reward them for their efforts. Depending on how successful and how much interest there is in the "SkyOS Code Ransom", we may expand this feature of the website a great deal more in the future.

Hmm, since SkyOS is written from scratch, I'd have to disagree with you. You might mean that SkyOS uses lots of Open Source software, which is true, but what is (would be) the problem with that? That is what Open Source software is there for, right? To be used and ported to other platforms/operating systems.

Not only have you got to pay for their OS which is built from a hell of a lot of opensource software, but they then have the cheek to copy the AROS bounty system, expecting people to pay again for it! :roflmao:
Anyone who coughs up for one of these ransoms deserves everything they get!
