I wouldn't say that Amiga, Inc. necessarily has come in to a lot of money.  Anyone can file a stupid lawsuit with minimal expense.

If you read the actual AmigaOne agreement carefully you come away with the distinct impression Hyperion and it's 3rd party contractors have not breached the agreement, imho. The depositions by McEwen and Moss are gross misrepresentations of the written agreement and actions of Hyperion and others.  For example, the definition of 'target hardware' is clearly PPC-based, so how is releasing OS4 on the Sam PPC board in contravention of the agreement?

I think it is debateable whether Amiga, Inc. themselves breached the agreement (e.g. by not releasing a significantly new version of the classic OS w/in 6 months of OS4's release), but it seems a huge stretch to say that Hyperion has violated the '4-corners' of the original agreement; which generally precludes consideration of the foggy recollections and revisionist opportunisms of these depositions.

Yes, but I still contend there's nothing 'Inc' has done that I couldn't do myself (btw a man of modest means).  Let's see shiny new dancing OS4 Amigas in major computer retailers by Xmas and then we'll be talking.

Otherwise, this is just more bluster from arrogant idiots with just enough $$$ to be dangerous but who really know nothing and can do nothing (AmigaDE anyone?) other than 'leveraging' the work of others to their own advantage.  :evil:
