Hyperion: Ben Hermans no longer corporate director

[nicholas]

So when is A-Eon going to acquire Hyperion?

As kamelito said, it only states that Ben is no longer director. It's not clear from the statement whether he demoted or totally left the company.

If he's no longer an "owner" of the company it might make it easier to fire him for incompetence now. That's assuming he still works there.

AFAIK, he never was an owner.

sed -e s/"owner"/shareholder

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.
