The way I see it Amiga Inc's claim to the Amiga OS is Valid.
But that doesn't mean they own it or a copyright to it.
OS and KS was all owned by "Commodore Amiga Inc." According the original copyright. Full rights being onsold to Escom but not for the OS. Something was then sold to Gateway. Which retrospectively included some bodged non binding copyrights for the OS. @ 1$ each. Bit of a legal blunder there : See attachment.
What did Gateway own and have a right grant license to? unknown.
Was the license granted to Amiga Inc by Gateway exclusive? Who knows.
Did the current Amiga Inc complete the purchase of the license granted? Evidence would suggest not.
These questions would seem to be impossible to answer legally now.
So I rang up Gateway (Acer) and asked them what they thought about me (on franko's behalf) having a right to on sell Amiga OS and kickstart, and they said "what's a meega?"
I can't ring up Amiga Inc as they are no longer incorporated and they don't have a phone number.
So I reckon it's either Nicholas or Franko who own it now.
