Seems your confused bout the timeline.

It's not certain wether C= still had full ownership of OS3.1 at the time it went belly-up (villagetronic was producing/selling upgrade-kits, MocroSystem's Draco and maybe even more).

It's not certain wether the (partial) ownership was transfered to Escom.

Whatever Escom actually owned was than transfered to GateWay. Assuming the the VisCorp-interlude didn't muddy the water even  more.

It's also not clear what Amino really bought from GateWay, what was just licenced and more importantly whats been either left out or never fully paid.

And then there is H&P having partial ownership on 3.5/9 and Cloanto what seems to be an exclusive licence to ROM-images.

All of that would be a total mess if it ever got to court. Which is offcourse highly unlikely with AOS being pretty much wortless these days.

6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Which lamer made the decision to only let OS4 run on these machines that can't be bought? Oh, Amiga Inc. of course.



Make that AmigaInc,Hyperion and Eyetech and your spot on.

Noone forced Hyperion to develop OS4 under these condition, heck they were warned again and again before.

Well, your question was "Which lamer made the descision....", and you just have to include the Hype in any valid answer.

".... people have spend the least 7 attemting to sort this out ...."

Actually noone (after Villagetronic) ever really attempted to figure
it out (in a court-room that is), cos noone believed that AmigaOS was
worth enough after Escom collapsed.
