Hmmm... wonder if the judge will see this as a "stunt" in light of prior events.

Amiga gets money if they LOSE, I have no IDEA why they are fighting this battle, it's in their OWN interests, that's why they made the deal in the first place.

Hi, I've been away for a while so I'm trying to catch up with all the info. Can you explain to me the above? How exactly will they make money?

Cheers,

SidMan.


If Genesi win the case and Amiga is held to the contract, Amiga gets paid $4.50 in license fees for each of Genesi's machines sold capable of running DE. In addition, Amiga may charge Genesi for the costs involved in the port.

That's not to mention Amiga will now be exposing their DE to the ENTIRE Amiga community, not just one side of the fracture.

Amiga sees this as a loss, for "personal" reasons, but as a buisness event, it's a win.
