Hello, who knows if it is possible to obtain the source-code of
an Oberon compiler ( where,how,price,....) ?

Oberon is an experimental system and is currently not intended for
distribution.  For an official statement you'll have to ask ETH, of
course, but I'm pretty sure you will get exactly this answer.

The standard source license fee for software developed at ETH is 
US$ 1000; this is probably what you will have to pay once it becomes
available.

     Second this request.  I'd very much like to get ahold of Wirth's
source and port it to the Amiga.  Since it was developed at ETH as
research, it would seem to make sense that it might be in the public
domain.  Or does Wirth license all his code?
