Evert Carton leaves Hyperion

Please consider it.
While I wholly back Hyperion's right to market AOS4, I'm beginning to believe that previous versions of AmigaOS may not have a valid owner.

That is not possible. People might dispute who owns it, but the fact is that somebody owns it.

An interesting point. Are the ownership rights to a piece of software perpetual? And can software owned by a defunct company be transferred legally without consideration of any debts the company may carry?

Do you understand how bankruptcy works?

[mongo]

Far better then most people. And once a company's assets are liqidated and all debts are discharged they cease  to exist.
Therefore, if is not possible for a former official to sign a valid contract transferring intellectual property two years after bankruptcy.
Such an act would constitute fraud.

The contracts were signed to correct an oversight that occurred during the original transfer of assets.
