AFAIK, he never was a shareholder. At least not until they went bankrupt.

So when is A-Eon going to acquire Hyperion? ;)
A-Eon have acquired rights to quite a few bits of software but don't AFAIK have a habit of acquiring the companies that previously held the rights. Hyperion have rights to develop AmigaOS but can they sell those rights or are they legally bound to the company? I believe Hyperion contract out all the development rather than having software developers permanently on staff, a model that A-Eon is also using for it's acquisitions. It does seem crazy that A-Eon is at the mercy of Hyperion and their contracted devs for an OS to get the best out of their hardware, an OS that has only seen a 0.1 version increment in over a decade.

I'm far from an expert on these matters but I think there might be ways around it "reverse mergers" or whatever you call them etc.

He remains committed to Hyperion Entertainment and will continue representing its legal interests in the best possible way.


So he will dedicate 100% of his time pursueing all these people (ab)using the OS31 source... :roflmao:
