About Amiga Inc.
If I remember well they acquired IP of Amiga from Gateway...
But Gateway didn't sell it if I remember well!
Gateway just licensed the Amiga intellectual properties it to Amiga Inc.
(they even keep some patents of Commodore for their own purposes.)
So Amiga Inc, got the IP of Amiga within certain terms of use, including THEY HAVE ALL EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS ON IT.
Now I wonder if the contract between Gateway and Amiga Inc. has some expiration date...
And what about if there is a time limit? 20 years? 25 years?
Then any manufacturer could ask Gateway to acquire Amiga IP and technologies and bypass Amiga Inc...
If this scenario could beacame real, then anybody (even a community) could acquire Amiga technologies.
