@a-pex

Are you talking about the kickstart 3.9 thing? AFAIK you only patched a kickstart rom, relabeled the version number to "3.9"  (for fun) and made a video out of it, right?

I read somewhere that you were immediately contacted by Amiga Inc lawyers for doing that. Of course they didn't have any legal basis for their claims that you were harming their intellectual property.

I read the news article, but at this point I take every information coming from AInc with a grain of salt.


Understood and agreed. But there shouldn't be too much doubt about the terms as revealed by Kent's city officials.

"Three days after announcing that software maker Amiga Inc. bought the naming rights to Kent's proposed multipurpose arena, city officials revealed the terms of the deal -- $10 million over 20 years.
The city will receive $2.5 million from Amiga upfront upon the start of construction, said Ben Wolters, Kent's economic development director."
