My evening with Commodore USA, LLC

[number6]

If Commodore USA is able to execute on their current vision and suggested partners, things will get very interesting. While Commodore USA is currently a licensee for the Commodore and Amiga name, the intention is to own these companies outright one day and to be a publicly traded company on a major exchange.

Lofty goal indeed. I don't think Red or Dammy will be able to answer this one, but here's a question regardless:

The last news release from Asiarim indicating their intent regarding C=USA:
"The License Agreement is for an initial period of approximately 3 years, provided that certain financial and sales commitments are met, and can be renewed subject to fulfillment of certain sales targets and financial commitments."

Has Barry discussed with Ben van Wijhe the option of a buyout, given that the above indicates an entirely different plan from Asiarim's perspective in September, 2010.

When did Amiga Inc lose the amigaOS4 court case?

They didn't.
He's referring to the settlement which gave Hyperion the right to continue to develop Amiga OS, including, but not limited TO 4.

They didn't, some people are just confused (some people even believes Hyperion owns the OS and owns the Amiga trademarks, which they of course don't).

Here is the situation after the settlement:

Hyperion has built a house (OS4). They have built it by heavily relying on construction materials (Amiga OS 3.1) that are *loaned* (and then they added their own stuff to the construction as well).

Hyperion actually acknowledge in the settlement that the loaned bricks and planks (Amiga OS 3.1) used to build the OS4 house are indeed owned by Amiga Inc. And then Amiga Inc acknowledge in the settlement that the house is owned by Hyperion, *except* for the loaned bricks and planks they used to actually build the house, which *are still* owned by Amiga Inc!

Now, who owns the house?

And to connect to the quoted statement above, is there really *any* winners from way the court case ended?

We both know your question is rhetorical.
Of course not. The old adage is that a settlement is succesful if both sides extricate themselves with an equal amount of disappointment.
