one way or the other im not sure if x86 with aros being an official amiga lineup would have satisfied the most of existing user base [of amiga(-noid) ng alternatives]. especially, it seems most (beyond occasional) users i hear of gather on mos rather than os4 or aros side.

one thing i just wonder is that, being well informed, remembering and apparently rather un-biased,  number6 had need an amigaone system donated to take part of amiga forums again. pure sentiment?

Well I do think it is fairly obvious that different OS's can't have the same name.

at least me, i dont care..

And also, after the long legal battle Hyperion had, and all the money used on it, they should defend their rights. If not,  it would have been a waste of time and money.

their own damn business. any of us have sure seen stranger than having a full ip at disposal, going open and that for a good reason. im not trying to tell that this strategy should be applied, no matter what. still, im not sure what is the current gain except on running (apparently) occasional hardware sales.

Obviously they do defend it, if not, a guy like Black Lab Linux could have kept using the amiga name. Thankfully that was stopped.

as if it was any worse, the way its now. and also, the guy does still pop up now and then. if the trademark has ever been violated for good, maybe the dumb discussion about legitimacy would have effectively _stopped_ in the end, giving way for something not as legitimate but future proof, for those who want it. alas, it takes some mind to realize..
