Has the Amiga Inc. vs. (Genesi|Staff|etc.) trials been cleared.
Amiga Inc lost and were ordered to port AmigaDE to Pegasos. Then they appealed against the decision and lost the appeal too.
Who owns the IP etc. now?
KMOS owns the name and the OS. Gateway still own the patents.
What about the things I hear about Genesi; have they pulled an Amiga Inc. and refused to pay their employees?
Basically, yeah.
They're still paying most of their employees, but there wasn't enough money to pay everyone so they made the decision to only continue paying those they considered essential to their business.
Those contractors who weren't being paid, were told that money was short and that they could carry on working on the understanding that they would be paid when the money was available. Seems a few of them got tired of waiting and decided it would be a better idea to hold MorphOS to ransom rather than release version 1.5 .
