Without AmigaInc and without Bill McEwen we would have:

and for classic guys the boing bag 3 and a 100% working kickstart 3.9 in hardware (everything avaible, but can not be sold or offered to the community, like Moana).
I'm not interested in speculating about what could have been. I'd rather move on than get so worked up about things which didn't happen that I start wishing people were dead :roll:

I have to agree, though I think I'm less charitable than Moto... I just don't see the point in wasting my time thinking about Amiga Inc. and McEwan etc...
I moved to the idea of an OpenSource AmigaOS almost exactly 10 years ago... By the time all these criminals had moved onto the scene I was already gone... We have our Next-Gen AmigaOS operating systems... Just select the one that suits your needs* and use it...
*needs:
Got an A1? - Use AOS4.
Got an EFIKA - USE MOS.
Got A PPC in your Amiga... take your pick from the above...
Got anything else... Use AROS.
Nothing we can do now... or probably anyone ever could have done would have changed (except perhaps the move to QNX/Linux a la MacOS X style) the situation the Amiga is in now.
