The Amiga market hasn't been a big money-maker for a long, long time. I seriously doubt the Friedens ever expected to make a lot of money off OS4.
If so, then it looks like they got their wish.
If A-inc really cared about the amiga, they would have made sure there was hardware to run OS4 on. They have left Hyperion in an unrecoverable position in which they can't sell their work because there is no hardware, and they can't rewrite it for any other platform that does have hardware.
Actually from the court documents presented so far, it looks like Hyperion is more than a little responsible for their current situation.
Personally, I think the saviours of the amiga market will turn out to be Dennis' minimig project and the AROS team. Since they are doing it for free and releasing all of the code, they can't be sued or caught up in legal battles.
Spot on! But, they *can* be sued - anybody can be sued for anything, at least here in the US, though admittedly there aren't any real grounds for a suit against them.
