There really is no need for 20 more questions. Amiga Inc. is a joke, Bill McEwen has a very low standing in this community. By asking him 20 questions it simply serves to stoke his ego and keep the illusion of Amiga Inc. alive...

It is time to forget about this person and his company. I imagine he finds a great sense of self worth simply by being mentioned on Amiga fora... if we ignore him he will go away.

-Edit1- AOS4 is considered "Classic" by Amiga Inc.

-Edit2- Amiga Inc. have never, in anyway supported AROS. They even made demands that anonymous access to the source code repository was removed... quite why, I'll never understand...

They've never directly opposed it either. I wonder what might happen if that attitude changes.

Nothing, since they own nothing involved in the AROS project.

You know better than that. How many times have decisions been made based on who has the better lawyers opposed to who's wrong or right?


A inc couldn't afford the lawyer needed to sue over one hundred people in at least 10 different countries, which is what they would have to do to shut down the project. Also they woud look pretty stupid bringing a law suit against an Open Source project which uses nothing they own... look what happened to SCO... and they "might" have had a case...

Besides AROS uses A.Inc's trade mark in their name, or did you forget? "Amiga Research Operating System". Hopefully Amiga Inc will continue with their benevolent attitude.

How vital is the word "Amiga" to the functioning of AROS?

Not very, I could go through the whole AROS source and change the word Amiga to AROS (AROS Research Operating System) and AROS would work fine.
