@red Bill  :-P

Slow news day, or what ?

Harald claimed that he owns Amithlon, but Bernie stated that he
had replaced all of Harald code in version 2, but that he was still
missing the o.k. from a needed contributor.

IMO this can only be P96, who might fear trouble from H&P with
whom the still have a valid contract (thats me guessing).
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

@red
Not neccesary fear. The do have a binding contract with H&P,and
AFAIK they even got the money. They also know that atleast on of
the two Amithlon versions is illegal, but they have no way to know
(for sure) which one is legal.

While noone can blame them if the H&P version is proven illegal
(OS-licences or not their prob), it would be a problem if H&P would
win against Bernie, because in this case they would probraly have
violated their contract with H&P by providing parts for version 2.
