If Genesi owned the classis AmigaOS IP?

One possibility might be to turn everything over to the AROS folks (they have stayed motivated and working independently for years!) or another, just release everything to OpenSource.

For the moment that would seem the best course as far as we are concerned, but that is PURE SPECULATION at this point as we do not own the IP.

Sincerely,
Raquel and Bill

Why dont you OpenSource MOS.

if thats the case, I guess the exposure he gains
is pretty small....i've been watching both here
and amigaworld.net quite frequently, users actually browsing the sites are rarely over 50 users.. Where the hell is the rest of this
community ?

With the latest activity around here, I've figured that out myself too Im sure Pegasos sales would have been 3x higher if "The Name" would follow the Pegasos/Morphos package.

We clearly see "The Name" in action with the sucsess the AmigaOne have in Europe at this time,
Eyetech can't ship many enough and fast enough it seems.

Some days ago I've been talked with some developers of a musicprogram(tracker++) for pc and mac,
one of the developers is getting an A1 when OS4 is out and a os4 port wasnt a longshot either
all because of "The Name".

so yes, I would say whoever have "The Name" stays in business.

I remember when pegasos/mos users were saying that brand name does not matter.

Its clear now that it does matter as it always did.
