Acer
Rights and patents where bought from Escom AG by Gateway2000.
Gateway never transfered these rights and patents to AmigaInc..
They sold the brand and the right to use the AOS.
In 2007 Gateway where bought by Acer.
Add to that the "stupid german judge" (tm) who couldn't find evidence that AmigaOS was part the deal when Escom bought the C=-corpse years before .....
Bout NotC=USA,Amino and HyperHyper:
Amino did have the rights to sell a licence for the name "Amiga" to NotC=USA, there is no doubt about it. NotC=USA is free to bundle every free SW to their HW no matter how much fuss HyperHyper makes.
HyperHyper !might! be able to sue Amino over that licence insisiting that every such licence would have to include some no-AROS-clause to comply with that settlement:
Possible outcomes:
- the judge jails Ben for wasting his time (yeah I know, but one can allways dream
)
- the judge decides that Amino fullfilled their duty out of the settlement
- the judges favors HyperHyper's view and awards them compesation .... against Amino. The NotC=USA-licence is not touched by that verdict.
