The classic Amiga is finally free Amen brother!

I dont know if thats actually a good or bad thing...

When someone held the rights previously it kept everyone at bay, but now if the flood gates open Im more worried about ALOT more ppl trying to profit and rape the Amiga name...

hmmm it might be best if a new gate keeper is selected, which is trusted within the community (if trust still exists) which can distribute/lease out the rights to worthy ppl...  Last thing I want is a few more CUSA to popup freely...  Food for thought..

If they have no exclusive right to the name, then neither do their licensees.
This could be very, very good.


How would that even work?  It would be completely unenforceable, and if there's one thing the Amiga 'community' is incapable of doing, it's coming to a consensus on how they want the platform to evolve.

Well there is wishful thinking... haha! I know what you mean, some ppl cant even decide what colour of LED's to have on a certain case

AMIGA, INC. CORPORATION WASHINGTON is not Amiga Inc.

At least not according to Bill McEwen.

Seems that while playing the Amiga-Itec-KMOS-Amiga shell game, they forgot to transfer the trademark.

Naaa he was too busy learning to code for OS5 release which at this speed is on schedule for release in 2065..

The actual documentation filed is here (for the change of name to Amiga Inc, Delaware): http://assignments.uspto.gov/assignments/assignment-tm-3237-0792.pdf

Last bit was so blurry beyond recognition..  Guess the pen pushers in gov departments dont care :-/
