A-EON Technology: Introducing Tabor and the A1222

[number6]

Now, as far as I know, Hyperion only have a license for a PPC port.  If they wanted to do an x86 port, they would have to re-negotiate with Amiga, Inc, and I doubt that would be successful.

May 18, 2006 - Hans Joerg Frieden before the lawsuit while he was still spokesman for Hyperion on AW.

Since I am also part of the anti-x86 lobby

Reason 1: Hyperion does not have a licence for x86, only for PowerPC.

August 8, 2008 - Hans Joerg Frieden during the lawsuit:

I would really like to port AmigaOS 4.1 to x86.

October 18, 2009 - Ben Hermans on settlement restrictions:

There is no limitation to AmigaOS 4.x.

June 12, 2011 - Ben Hermans after the settlement on PPC and ARM:

Then there are some legal issues like some licences being tied to PPC only.

August 9, 2014 - Well after the settlement and a theory based on the prior statements made publically by Ben Hermans:

The Ben Hermans quote about "some licences being tied to PPC only" most certainly refers to the licenses he has from the OS4 developers for their *new* code.

Sorry about the off-topic and please try to keep comments from contractors seperate from those made by Hyperion management if you want to understand this.
