Yes, the contract was for Thendic-France's use of AmigaDE on it's devices as listed in an appendix of the licence contract. A clause in another section of the contract stiplifies how other Thendic-France products maybe added to the list.
Thendic-France/Genesi's lawsuit was that Amiga, Inc. violated the contract by not allowing, as according to the contract, the addition of the Pegasos motherboard.
The judge seems to agree with Genesi. We will just have to wait abit to see what the actually wording of the decision is. Also, if there will be an appeal.

You can read our editorial on the litigation here:
The Downward Spiral of Amiga, Inc.

You can reach the court documents obtained by Rich Woods and made public here.

You can view the contract here starting on page 4.

are new pegasos users to recieve a DE player for Morphos sometime in the future?


Why would they? The contract was for use of AmigaDE on Thendic-France hardware products.

If AInc is guilty of anything, it's writing bad contracts with sharks like Bill Buck


Thendic-France's lawyers drew up the licencing contract for AmigaDE.

In your opinion, but I don't see it happening. Besides, Genesi would have to talk to Amiga, Inc.

Anyway, let's get back on topic. Which is talking about a possible judgement in favor of Thendic Electronic Components GmbH in their case against Amiga, Inc. for breach of licensing contract.

People on both sides have exstreme views on the subject. Calling names or labeling them isn't going to change someone's mind if they have exstemely strong views. Alot of the time facts don't work either. The only way they will change their views is the long road to self realization of the situation.
Just beceause someone doesn't see your point of view or you can't convice them otherwise, doesn't mean that they are right, wrong, blind to the facts or anything else. They may have a very good reason or reasons of their own for how they feel. Just leave them be. Arguing with them is not going to solve anything.
Talk to the open minded people instead. It can be a much better conversation.
