Arg! This certainly doesn't make me too fond of Genesi's methods. What are they trying to accomplish? Surely a buyout would be a better option given their motives.

Oh well. Maybe we'll see OS4 on Pegasos and MorphOS on AmigaOne now...

And they have to mean DE, yes? Hyperion's in charge of the OS source code now, aren't they? I don't really see why Genesi need it anyway, since 68K Amiga apps are already running on MorphOS.

Hi
AFAIK there is no agreement / contract between TAO and Genesi about Intent license.
AmigaDE / AA run on top of Intent. Without Intent, AA will be a useless software.
How Genesi plan to use the AmigaDE source code, without INTENT?

I get the feeling Genesis is using the american corporate legal system for what it´s worth. It´s a sad day for the community, not only Amiga Inc.

Hey, Amiga Inc does not have money to protect themselves, let´s sue.

Does anyone here seriously belive Amiga Inc´s failure will help Genesis in any way? Will MorphOS become better now? Will Genesis sell more hardware? I know that a lot of people (*cough* amigaworld.net *cough*) incuding me won´t buy pegasos anyway, most of us won´t even buy AmigaOne before price is down, and OS4 is out there.

Well, if it really is the OS that Genesi will have access to (which I doubt it is), then I assume that we will soon have an AOS4 compatible version of MorphOS.
More likely is that MorphOS will get a fast JVM/AmigaDE player.

Some comments are very sad.... Is Amiga Inc the evil? Useless to talk about it here. The same bla bla bla bla bla....

Anyway this is not important if it is only for DE.

Have a nice weekend to all.

Except they won't.. because Intent is Tao's property and source code. Not Amiga Inc.

They could at most the code that Amiga has created in top of Intent - and how much would that help in itself? 0.

A very sad day indeed... This sure did not help AmigaINC's sad financial state  :boohoo:

The company with most money, seem to be the winner in most of this cases  :-x

this sure wont help me to buy products from Genesi, i rather leave the whole community..

Let's see...consulting ye auld Crystal Ball here...I forsee that Hyperion will say that this is why they can't complete OS4*, Genesis uses this as an inroad to take control of what's left of the "Amiga" name/corporation and shortly thereafter disposes of it, from there on out it's MOS all the way...

Yep.  Just you wait.

*if it's not out in the next 2-4 weeks it won't ever be released, folks.
