I can't believe you posted that sentance in quite that wording, to be honest.

You can't "give AmigaOS to AROS". Releasing the source code to the official AmigaOS would infringe all sorts of patents and licenses, or so i'm lead to believe.
I think they mean give the AmigaOS name to AROS, so we can call ourselves AmigaOS rather than AROS.
That's rather nice of them, actually. It's good to see some one with both sense and money.
If Gensi were able to buy the Amiga IP, it would be nice to think they would do everything possible to keep the Aros Dev Team together hint hint :-D
If they were to buy it... Who would they buy it from? I was thinking Gateway? Im prolly wrong, but i though Amiga Inc were only licencing their rights to the name?
But from what BBRV was saying, it actualy sounded as if he was talking about if he got AmigaOs, not the name, cause you cant opensource the name :/
I dont think BBRV could get AmigaOS, it belongs to Hyperion. Not Amiga Inc. But A inc can buy it from Hyperion according to their contract at a specified time.
I dont know why BBRV says this. Maybe he's just talking hypatheticly? In which case, i'll shutup, and enjoy the rest of the thread.
