Has CommodoreUSA shipped anything?

So are the selling access to whatever IP is related to the Amiga? Is WB roms and OS included in this sale?

IF it is then this could be valued for a TV game type product as the purchaser would then own the roms. Question is how much they want. If its a few tens of thousands of dollars then it is in line with what one would pay for access to a major movie license (sometimes this goes into the millions or even hundreds of millions).

The news release indicated that Amiga Inc. wants to keep the OS, but sell the trade name, as ludicrous as that may sound.

It would be interesting to find out what the deal is between Barry's Furniture Co. and Amiga Inc, surely they would have to disclose the details of the deal to someone who wanted to buy the company....

I don't think there is a deal, since they probably have realized that they are in violation of the settlement with Hyperion.  Rather, I suspect that McEwen is going to sell the trade name to Barry outright for some price to circumvent the legal problem, UNLESS he can get more by selling it to someone else -- hence the notice of the attempted sale at this point in time.

@orb85750

They aren't producing an OS so they aren't in violation of their agreement with Hyperion.  A lot of us spotted the hole when the settlement was posted.  Amiga Inc can produce computers but only with someone else's OS, they can't produce their own....

Did I not read that Hyperion has filed suit?

EDIT: To get AROS to work fully with the C-USA hardware, are they not going to need to do some work?  Is that work not under the umbrella of "OS production/development?"  (I don't know.)
