I have read pages and pages of the court documents from both sides and it was pretty apparent that Hyperion is basing most of their argument on their assertion that Amiga Inc. Washington was in fact insolvent before they transferred the Amiga IP to KMOS/Amiga Inc. Deleware, and therefore Hyperion now should have a lifetime perpetual license to continue development of AmigaOS4.x and have use of the trademarks.

I am fairly sure that if Amiga Inc. prevails on all parts of the court case that it will not be a good thing for any Amiga user that wants to see AmigaOS4.x to continue to be developed, but I am not to sure what the future will be like for those same Amiga users if Hyperion prevails.  I can only hope that it will be much better and that Hyperion will be allowed to develop AmigaOS4.x and beyond for many other hardware platforms.

I also hope that Hyperion will make the wise decision to develop and release OS4 for the PPC Mac machines as an interim hardware solution until they can develop OS4.x on a more powerful hardware platform.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)
