you've got to be kidding. i love AOS4 and wouldn't go back to AOS3 for love nor money, but, honestly, what in the name of all that's holy are hyperion thinking?

"hmmm.... someone is developing a product that will provide us license fees. i know, let's send a cease and desist letter!" :lol:

Yes, that's a ridiculous response to someone who is actually helping Hyperion's bottom line.  And since you're NOT an OEM manufacturer, you should go ahead and continue selling those systems with copies of OS4.  You aren't manufacturing anything.  You're reselling a copy of OS4 along with a system manufactured by HP.  You're clearly a retailer or reseller.  If they decide to pursue you, they'll most certainly lose.....both financially and legally.

Red raised the issue of the legality of the marketing and sale of this machine especially if bundled with OS4.1.  It's clearly still using the Amiga name despite not have a license.  It looks like Hyperion had no choice but to issue a cease and desist.

There is od course nothing to stop an individual user buying a copy to run on whatever hardware they chose.

No choice?!  You have to be joking.....  The systems all are HP branded.  Nothing about "Amiga" printed on any of them so there's no infringement of any kind.

Sheesh, as usual the trolls on this site take any discussion and wreck it by devolving it into circular psychobabble while trying to act as arm-chair attorneys.  You clowns will quibble to the point of absurdity.  Here's an idea for you trolls.  This site should change its name to something else because we can't have "Amiga" in the domain name/URL since it's copyrighted by God only knows who.....Change it to http://www.the-os-that-shall-not-be-named.org
