Let me tell you something Wayne: Hyperion has both a trademark and OS license.

We DO NOT require any assistance from Amiga to protect these licenses as under the law we have full standing to act against anybody who infringes upon these licenses.

It's entirely Amiga's choice that they want to protect the trademarks and IP they acquired for 4.5 million dollars against unauthorised use.

In fact, if they failed to do so, they would never find any investors willing to invest in them.

The first order of business of any IT company is to protect its intangible assets.

Finally somebody with a clear grasp of the situation.

AmigaOS 4 and the AmigaOne project do not soak up any  significant amount of resources from Amiga.

I also find Wayne's contention that the "silent majority" was hoping for the AmigaDE rather than OS 4 to be quite off the mark.

Maybe in the US where nearly all Amiga users have another x86 based box (like Wayne himself) but certainly not in Europe where a number of people still use their Amiga's as their main machine.

And let's face reality: the Amiga market is a European affaire.
