Care to back that claim up somehow?

Hyperion representatives on the other hand have been highly unprofessional on numerous occasions, the worst offender being Ben Hermans: http://www.biclodon.com/misc/amigafarm/benhermans/.


As was BB IMO. Why can't we let this rest ?

Evert is best remembered for referring to AROS as "probably illegal".

That's not what I know him for. I don't know if he did or did not say that, but I think that other things he'd done/said are far more memorable to me than your maybe AROS thing.

Mr Evert is of course famous for this unfortunate and misguided comment of AROS being "probably illegal".



Regardless, the project was renamed.

"AROS: Renaming project
According to Aaron Digulla, initiator of the open source code operating system AROS, the name "Amiga" will be deleted from the project name because of the legal steps of Amiga Inc. against Hyperion."

This doesn't make sense. How does Amiga Inc sueing Hyperion force AROS to change it's name? Since when does Hyperion have an active say in what AROS does? :confused:

But i know AROS changed its name from Amiga Research Operating System to Aros Research Operating System. Not sure how this is relevant to Hyperion though.

Evert Carton, one of two known managing partners at Hyperion, has stepped down and in fact claims to have completely abandoned the Amiga scene. Evert is best remembered for referring to AROS as "probably illegal".

A sudden and public dissociation. This is important and interesting news. Could be a sign, I guess we'll know in a few months or so.

The A in AROS used to stand for Amiga (acronym). If AInc. starts to sue for trademark, even if it is about an unrelated company, you´d better get out of the way if you can´t pay your lawyers to defend your name in court.

In fact if you go to morphos-team today, you will not find the name "Amiga" except for in "amigaguide.library"

Yes, but if I browse through my MorphOS setup (startup's etc.) I'll find - of course - stuff like "Kickstart" or "Workbench" all over, which is needed for backwards compability. Both names are copyrighted, though. Same is/might be true for AROS. Does ReactOS have a "windows32.dll" (or similar)? :-)

I recall that quote was in one of leaked emails in Amiga vs Hyperion trial.

Buck was unprofessional in numerous occasions as well.

Does that mean I cannot call the bull manure spewed about me?

Who or what Evert Carton (odd name !!!) is or was and what he/she had to do with Hyperion, well I haven't the foggiest... :)

Should I care... Erm, No...
Do I care... Erm, No...

Did he/she really exist and actually do anything Amiga related, hmmm... who knows, who cares, why bother... :)

Only thing I know about Hyperion is they sold me a lump of jobbies called OS4.0 and that's about it, other than that have a nice day (or a bad one if you really want too)... ;)

(seeing as it's Easter I'm off to nail some poor sod to a cross... cooeee, old Mrs Johnstone...:D)

I would say he was spot on with that comment.  You still doing OS4 and AROS development?

Yeah, I think this thread serves no purpose.  This happens all the time in business partnerships, the company moves in a direction that one of the partners isn't interested in and they move on.  Hardly more than a "tempest in a teacup."  I'm a longtime Hyperion critic and I can't really find anything to criticise here.....

I don't think I'm being unprofessional here (but I certainly have been on some occasions). Going on spreading misinformation and lies would be. Also I consider going to the bottom of things to be professional. Leaving some matter unsolved or dangling in the air is unprofessional. So I would really like to know how I have supposedly spammed OS4 threads in order to promote MorphOS.

BTW who is managing Hyperion now?
