Statement From Bill McEwen on Thendic-Amiga

[Merko]

To everyone posting complaints about this site, and complaints about
those complaints being deleted from this thread:

Why don't you start a new thread on that topic? Do that, post your
criticisms without any swearwords or personal attacks, and I'm sure
they won't be deleted. This thread is about something else, get it?


Two observations about bbrv's post:

1) Note that he says that AInc's legal counsel "decided to [...]
validate the license for the Pegasos and AmigaDE."

About the Garry Hare statement: Note that bbrv writes that "Garry Hare
was brought in *to be* the Chairman and CEO. He was."
(my emphasis on "to be")
The only reasonable interpretation of this statement is that whoever
is in the power to do this, intended to put Garry Hare as Chairman and
CEO, but that this never happened. Why not? I don't know. Maybe
because Garry Hare did not want to defend AInc in court?

I didn't misread, but I misquoted, bbrv wrote "agreed to" rather than
"decided to".

But yes: bbrv DID SAY that the counsel agreed to validate the license!

Whether this happened or not, I cannot say, but this is what bbrv
writes above. Read again!

The whole idea of the .org root domain is that it's for organisations,
not companies, right?

IMO it's sad that companies are allowed to take over, and that they
sometimes threaten fans who are becoming too independent with
scare-stories to make them believe that you can't even talk about
product X without breaking some "copyright" about the X trademark.
Mind you, I'm not really talking about Amiga here, but in general.
