Re: Amiga Inc have sold the AmigaOS

IIRC, Gateway still owns all the nifty patents, and Amino/AmigaInc owned the right to the name and to use/develop/sell the AmigaOS.  What patents are tied up in the OS vs. the novel hardware?

 In this day of the evil WTO and GATT, what about the German court decision of a few years ago that found that when Gateway bought Amiga from Escom, the didn't actually get the rights to the OS?  Whatever became of that?  Seems to be that would concern KMOS and Bill Buck.

 So how do we contact this Harre fellow and ask him what his intentions are?  I'd like to see us all share stuff and let MorphOS and AmigaOS and AROS become one big happy family.  I'm tired of being jerked around by people without the means- and the people who actauly have the ability are hamstrung by legal claims from Fleecy and Bill McEwen.  I'm tired of the waiting and empty promises.  If I could try one of these Pegasos units first, I might darn well go and buy it.

Speaking of which, my girlfriend ordered AmigaOS 3.9 for me as an Xmas gift in Dec. 2002 and it STILL hasn't come in!!  Her emails to Fleecy were never bounced, but never answered either.  Thanks for nothing Fleecy!
