why is this bad, hyperion is the ONLY company to produce anything
Amiga related in regards to OS4 yet!!!  Imagine how nice the picture would be if you turn Hyperion in to Amiga and well thats it, the guys who wrote the code own the code and now they can market it!!!!! That sounds good to me.

I think you'll find the MorphOS and AROS teams did more for us and first.  Hyperion (The owners, not the coders) are scheming rats who have been out to steal the PPC Amiga market from firstly MOS-Team and secondly the entire IP from Amiga Inc from the very beginning.

Which of the following has Hyperion claimed about the lineage of OS4?
A) "It is based on the original AOS sources, and so it is the true Amiga!"

B) "The original AOS sources were not very useful, so we rewrite the whole thing."

C) "We never gained access to the original AOS sources."

D) All of the above.

Correct answer: D

A this was stated by hyperion management IIRC. and since when does management have a complete picture of anything.

B this was stated by the programmers (one of the friedens iirc)

C how does this statement affect the other two? they aquired the sources themselves so this does not affect the other statements.

A was stated by both of the genetic clones on more than one occasion.

so you are saying the friedens are the liars? and not hyperion. :-)

Well when the court case finishes we will find out I guess.

well it really don't matter to this case it just annoys me when everyone jumps to conclusions about ainc or hyperion. imo this case has more to do with miscommunication and misunderstandings than anything tangible.

I think it has more to with with both sides being greedy and manipulative and trying to scam each other from the start.

it's possible i just don't see it that way.so far in the documents and statements i see bias and i see misunderstandings but i have not seen blatent malice. maybe by the end of the case this will become clear but i refuse to jump to that conclusion. i prefer innocent until proven guilty whenever possible.

I base my assumption not just on the court documents but on the documented behaviour of Bill McEwen, Barry Moss, and Ben Hermans.

None of whom I would trust as far as I could throw them.

Take a look at the ann.lu archives for some of Mr Hermans classics.
