Editing Amiga (section)

==== Influence on other operating systems ====
AmigaOS directly or indirectly inspired the development of various operating systems. [[MorphOS]] and [[AROS]] clearly inherit heavily from the structure of AmigaOS as explained directly in articles regarding these two operating systems. AmigaOS also influenced [[BeOS]], which featured a centralized system of [[Amiga support and maintenance software#Datatypes|Datatypes]], similar to that present in AmigaOS. Likewise, [[DragonFly BSD]] was also inspired by AmigaOS as stated by Dragonfly developer Matthew Dillon who is a former Amiga developer.<ref name="AutoP5-33" /><ref name="AutoP5-34" /> [[WindowLab]] and [[amiwm]] are among several [[window manager]]s for the [[X Window System]] seek to mimic the Workbench interface. IBM licensed the Amiga GUI from Commodore in exchange for the REXX language license. This allowed [[OS/2]] to have the WPS ([[Workplace Shell]]) GUI shell for OS/2 2.0, a 32-bit operating system.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.os2bbs.com/os2news/OS2Warp.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121020022353/http://www.os2bbs.com/os2news/OS2Warp.html|url-status=dead|title=OS/2 News, OS/2 BBS|archive-date=October 20, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |author=Doug McIlroy |url=http://www.catb.org/esr/writings/taoup/html/ch03s02.html#os_2 |title=OS/2 Eric S.
