Takers - One Woman's Opinion of the Amiga Mini

.....How did Hyperion **** CUSA out of AROS?

The Amiga trademark may only be used for computer which don't have an OS that is  AmigaOS4-like; Hyperion let it be known that they consider AROS violating this license requirement.

Anyway I think C=USA already decided not to use AROS before they could use this excuse because it needed investment to make it support all parts from their computers.

My understanding is that putting AROS on an Amiga branded computer would violate the trademark used by hyperion.

Exactly, Hyperion did not make a statement about the legality of AROS an sich but on the usage of it by an Amiga trademark licensor to use it as OS on their Amiga branded computers.

Again, I don't remember that, just the stipulation that Amiga Inc. could not develop an AmigaOS like product.

Don't know how you interpret this statement from Ben Hermans?
Don't find a reference to the settlement documents anymore but if I remember well it handled about the use of the Amiga trademark and was not only valid for Amiga Inc.

Lets just say it sounds like Hermans, but it doesn't mean that his opinion is a realistic representation of the actual rights of Hyperion.

Sure, I may not be Staf, you may not be Iggy and Hyperionmp may not be Ben.
