Midgets Go to War: Genesi sues Amiga Inc.
« on: February 04, 2003, 05:34:21 PM »
In a comment on ann.lu, Bill Buck and Raquel Velasco confirmed that Genesi SARL has taken legal action against Amiga Inc. because of an alleged breach of contract. Says Genesi:

"MorphOS IP is 100% legal. Any concerns or questions can be e-mailed to us directly. All suggestions to the contrary are complete FUD. Neither, Amiga Inc. or any of the AmigaOS4 signatories have any legally supportable evidence to the contrary. Having said that, Genesi has taken legal action against Amiga Inc. in Federal Court (Washington State) for breach of contract (FACT). We are expecting a favorable result (OPINION)."

Editor's note: At this point, we don't know the exact details of the lawsuit. We'll keep you posted.

@ red

That are lame actions too ... but Bill Buck could be the better man by not playing the same game ... i think that would give him and his company more credit

Sueing AI won'thelp him in any way ... it'll prolly make things even worse.

I remember sometime ago, someone said they had evidence that MOS illegaly used the sources or something. But now it's seems that was not a valitd prove. That or this is just more FUD...


Correct me if i'm wrong, but i think the illegal code was deleted and rewritten by the MOS team.
