@T_Bone:
I guess it could be that too. As to the investors and Amiga Inc, it could well be that the last time Amiga Inc asked for more money, the investors agreed only under the condition that Amiga Inc got rid of AmigaOS. Amiga Inc sells the OS, uses the money to settle their debts and in exchange the VCs pay the lawyers for this last round of litigation and resume "normal" funding, knowing that all the money spent will benefit the DE. The only info I have to back this up is what's been posted on the net so far (ie not a whole lot), but that's the theory that makes the most sense to me given the info we do have.
