There was nothing wrong with the original advertising...

The new license, which covers the current version and minor updates (no upgrade privileges for future major versions)*, replaces the shareware status of the Picasso96 software included in Amiga Forever.
...
* At the time of this writing in 2001, the Picasso96 project was owned by its original developers Alexander Kneer and Tobias Abt. Updates released by a new Picasso96 ownership were neither envisioned nor intended to be included in Amiga Forever under this license.

This is more play it to the gallery than anything else, a way for Jens to back-paddle and still appear to be relevant. For Cloanto it just means putting an emphasis on what they already have stated umpteen times.

I find it more mind-boggling that IComp owns the rights for a driver suite for which IComp has no hardware.

Well, he’s too late to the game with that one now... his case project never happened (nor did it make any sense), others are beating him in cloning A1200, in offering FPGA systems, even in expansions and cpu boards... and his products keep attracting weird problems and his support reputation is increasingly worsening.

I too have quite a few IComp items, most of it old stuff, all generations of catweasel, as well as Indy AGA, various IDE boards, clockports adapters, ACA1221, memory expansions for A600 etc. I have been lucky and nothing broken. Software support for the Indy has not been too impressive though. But I just don’t see why I would want to buy another IComp product, as other offers are now much more appealing. And for support, I’m talking about his general reputation, anecdotes go both ways, but increasingly in the wrong direction.
