He dodged my question like true politician! Why do
they need all this stuff from Genesi about the Pegasos
specs? None of the developers of the OS's that run on
Pegasos currently have needed such things.

At least they haven't ruled it out. If AInc go under, maybe
they will release it for Peg then.


Well, I believe it's nothing much to dodge. Hyperion *is*
after all only licensing AOS from AInc (I use "only" in a very
loose sense though)  - the fail-safe thing is resting unless
AInc goes bust. In order to open up another hardware
market (like the Pegasos), it's rather logical that AInc has
to have its say. And if they say they need the hardware
licenced and Genesi won't licence it (for whatever reason),
Hyperion simply can't port to it. I belive Ben is quite correct
referring to AInc in this matter. It *is* still their OS, no
matter what some might think or like about it.
 
(A disclaimer: I haven't seen the licensing agreement
between Hyperion and AInc, so this is all conjecture on my
part.)
