Could this be a the basis of an independent implementation of AmigaOS? At the moment, (I think) you still need a licensed copy of Commodore's OS to run an emulator.

There's the free AROS for that, and the less talked about but arguably cooler nonfree MorphOS. If you have an old PPC mac try a trial of MorphOS on it, it's a very interesting little system
It's about a million miles away from that. It's a 68000 CPU emulator, with no Amiga hardware, and just enough OS structures sprinkled into memory, such that quite a few Amiga CLI utilities work.
What you're looking for is a ROM with a full implementation of AmigaOS, that can manage real Amiga hardware: that is only possible with the official ROMs or projects like AROS
You can use the ArOS roms for m68k and Aros m68k itself, but you need to set a highend setup.
There is an open source version, named AROS, which you can use.
