I have been in contact with Evert after this about AROS. I can't provide details but I am not worried about legality of AROS.

CUSA is receiving similar threats now. Sounds like a typical MO for Hyperion.


The case is different as Amiga Inc. has agreed to not compete with AmigaOS 4 under the Amiga name and Hyperion considers the use of AROS together with a the Amiga name as competition.

I have to agree though that such tactics indeed remind me of Amiga, Inc.


You don't agree with me on that. I find there is a miles difference between A.Inc. and Hyperion.

Yes, they've been litigious


Could anybody make a list of a the litigations in Amiga history and count how many each of the companies have started. I think you would be amazed.

The only thing I see is some quote from Ben Hermans in a heated discussion with BB & co. and a declaration during a trial. Don't know if people here read groklaw but during declaratory phase (if that is the right name) you are forced to declare all things that you possibly want to bring forward during the procedure. You are not allowed to bring new things on the table during the rest of the trial. So common practice is to put everything on paper in some conditional way (probably ilegal) at the start even if still need to investigate further if it really is the case.
