Donate all Amiga IP to the public domain.


Just give out the source - and make it something tricky that you're not allowed to redistribute binary versions of the source. Derived works must be resubmitted to AI for binary release.

Those that can't download the source and roll their own need to buy the quarterly AI Installer disk.

-What should Hyperion do?

Find some/any hardware to run their orphaned OS on, then hope and prey that they can make back at least their investment?


Or just get out of the way of the community. :-)

Curious, Do you think if we got Hyperion to work with Amiga Inc, instead of having their own agenda, that this would help severely to get good systems and good products again, whereby programmers will even want to use an Amiga for it??


Most (nearly all?) of the companies left with the Amiga are pushing their own brand of Amiga-ness. Hyperion were no different, they just mistook the die-hard "PPC Rulez, Wintel or Die!" crowd as actually having a lot of disposable income. Amiga Inc want to push Classic Amigas so long as it costs them nothing, they don't have to do anything and they can continue to make piddly little mobile phone games.

If you really want to support classic Amiga, support AROS.
