Is Amiga (the company) dead?

[pierre]

those people NEVER represented the AMIGA community , what the hell was that amiga SDK anyway, waist of money, They where badly managed and are part of the reason the amiga never when anywhere!  I think I hate them!  BAD BAD BAD company.. I realy wish they would just go away and leave the amiga to the open source community!  STUPID! I wish all the copyright law suits and petty in fighting would go away so we can focus on making cool amiaga stuff.. :madashell:

@recidivist
 For 1% of what Americans spend on recreational and self-destructive drugs the Amiga could be updated and widely promoted.

stay away from our drugs!!!  There must be a better way... also I think europe and the rest of the world use drugs also.

there are NOT 3 differnt amiga Inc.  there is one.  It started after/durign the gateway period.  they have moved around, maybe for some leagal/finacal reason.
"why does it even exist? This I cannot understand."
nobody does! but they DO own the rights to the OS, they licence/share them with hyperion, at least for 3.5 3.9 and 4.0 thanks all I know and it may be wrong?

[pierre]

they had to do this as they where being sued, it the same company. don't get to confused it's not worth it. Same company moving around....

[pierre]

there is only one amiga inc.  it was started by gateway and was cut loose at some point (became privatly held).  After that I may have changed owernership of managment but it the same company with the same assets!  Yes they reregisterd the company in a differnt state with differnt managment, so what?
I suggest you try to sell the amigaOS and see who sues you, that will lead you the owner... who said the OS has no value? what? Please correct me if I am wrong but there is no need to make this more confussing than it already is.
My main point is there CAN'T be two companys called amiga inc at the same time, just like you can't start another "blockbuster" or "sony".
im done
bye

Technicly there are some instances where two companies can have the same name, like you point out.  THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH AMIGA INC.  There is only one amiga inc.  If for some reason you can't belive this or are confused by what you read, take it from me, I have watched this all happen... there is only one amiga inc.  
If you think you just figured out that amiga inc does not own the OS or some other legal oversite consider that people have spent the least 7 years attempting the sort this out, so odds are you did not just find that loophole, esp if you don't have a legal background.  If you do think you have found a way to get the licence to the OS, great, check with a lawyer and THEN let us know how much money we need.  IF I am wrong please let me know as I don't want to spread false info.  I don't know why but this subject make me frustrated, esp when people insist on fase info!  
Yes amiga inc is alive, but it would appear the have been on life support for years.   amiga inc has made it clear that they don't have any intrest in the amiga community, so with any luck somebody will pull the plug on the life support and put then out of there misery.
