I received this in e-mail just now from Bill McEwen (CEO, Amiga Inc), in regards to the 25 Q&A session from earlier. Hope it helps...
(Permission was granted to post e-mail).
Wayne,
A couple of clarifications for the Amiga.org users who participated in the earlier Q&A session.
1. The Security Certificate address is correct. Amiga, Inc. (Delaware) has a Washington office, and we used that address when we acquired the certificate. Delaware is a very popular state to incorporate in, and many, many companies that do their business from other states are incorporated in Delaware. Dell and Hewlett-Packard are just two examples out of thousands. There are many reasons to have your company a “Delaware” corporation and we are just one of thousands. I am not sure why this was a problem for some in the community as we are just trying to make sure that we get it right as we move forward.
2. I want to make sure that it is understood that we at Amiga want OS 4 to ship and to ship on a variety of hardware. We would not have spent the money for the embedded products if we did not think that OS 4 could fit into the long term as well as short term plans of the company and the community. I probably spoke too loosely when I referred to certain things being "in the hands of the lawyers" and so forth. People can (and did) interpret this in a variety of ways, some of which were far away from what I intended (a lot spicier, but wrong). What I meant to get across was that we are in discussions, and that some of these discussions involve our lawyers talking with their lawyers (we are talking about legal documents, after all) -- and we have every reason to believe that everyone will continue to get along just fine. Anyone looking for blood and guts will just have to be disappointed. (It is a very interesting experience having your every word interpreted, re-intepreted, misinterpreted, analyzed, dissected, spun, massaged, clarified, confused, etc., etc. You should try it some time.)
I will be spending some more time in the next couple of days to try and better clarify my answers, where questions have come up.
