Commodore USA have started releasing products....and yes.....they are paying royalties for the logo/name while they are in negotiations for a long term agreement.
Commodore USA is the best hope for AROS, and the success and proliferation of any Amiga-like OS, whether you like it or not.
*****IF/WHEN****** AROS becomes a standard fixture on Commodore machines any time soon, I have assurances that Commodore would contribute to the AROS community and fund some further development that will benefit everyone. You will see a snowballing of interest and activity in AROS ****IF/WHEN**** Commodore gets involved.
Commodore USA are for real and are not a scam. Even if the hardware is not for you, they are sure to sell machines in the tens of thousands, and renew interest in an Amiga experience that could spur many great developments for every Amiga-like OS and their vendors. This would be most befitting of the Amiga's 25th Anniversary and I really hope we can get past silly coloured wars and revive a mainstream Amiga experience, which is what we've all been waiting for since Commodore's demise.
