Statement From Bill McEwen on Thendic-Amiga

@Red:

whippie!! free some room. Wanna buy a 1993 Camaro Z28 while you are down here?

Uhm. I wish I could have one of those :-)

But I've decided my next big purchase will be either a house, or a Rolls Royce. Stay tuned to find out which it will be :-)

@downix:

I'm also wondering, what EULA? I have a boxed AmigaOS 3.1 here, don't see an EULA anywhere in the material.

Genesi specifically mentioned Amiga OS3.9. Whether or not there is a EULA for 3.1 does not really matter in this case. The question is whether there is a EULA for 3.9.

The other question is if it's enforceable.

I would think MarkTime would be all over this, but I guess he's only worried about Apple loosing money from not selling enough hardware.

@Warface:
I don't see that Bill threatened end users at all. But I would say it is a bit odd to see Genesi claim you can run AmigaOS 3.9 and Mac OS 9x/OSX on the Pegasos when all three of these would mean breach of EULA. You as a person aren't really doing anything bad, but Genesi is deliberately tricking people into breaking the EULA. And the legality of breaking that is NOT up to Genesi or you as an end user to decide.

Again, I don't feel I'm doing anything wrong running 3.5 on an Access, but I would say it is something else entirely if it came bundled with it. Licensing isn't done to end users, it's done to OEMs, mkay?
