As long as MorphOS features AmigaOS compatibility, it cannot be rescued legally.

It's FUBAR legally.

That's what you get when you decompile an entire product and release the result on the internet.

BTW: we did order our developer board from bPlan late last year, early this year (I would need to check the fax I sent them).

Finally, there is no word about the CPU these boards are shipping with.

Is it a G3@600 Mhz? Or does the price of 550 euro exclude the price of the CPU?

Remember, the CPU is socketed so it could potentially be sold separately depending on how much somebody is willing to pay for it.

There is no requirement in continental legal systems to abstain from commenting on a case.

You are approaching this from a common law perspective (=UK, US, Canada, Australia etc.) where this requirement may or may not be present.

Besides, even in common law systems, I highly doubt that there is a requirement to abstain from commenting on your legal views.

You mean to tell me that Microsoft could not send out a press-release saying "this and that company is violating our patents"?

I see this all the time.

Companies usually refrain from doing so because they might tip off the other party about the line of defense/attack they will be using but this should not be confused with a general principle forbidding a party to comment on a case.

There is something as free speech and anybody is free to comment within the limits allowed by the libel laws.

Expressing a legal view (which can be backed up by substantial legal evidence and case-law) can in no way be construed as "libel" which by definition means that the allegation is unfounded.
Having said that, there isn't even a case pending because MorphOS has not entered the market yet.
