If Genesi need a license from Amiga inc to get OS4 ported to the Peg, isn't suing them in a rather public manner something of a retrograde step?

Why would Genesi need to license it? They just manufacture the board. Couldn't Some third party have genesi build the boards, slap a AmigaOne badge on it and resell it themselves licensed as an AmigaOne? (Like Eyetech does)

That should be possible, but Amiga Inc is ignoring requests to do this, Seehund was right on the money about the license scheme limiting options once more boards appear.

How do they explain the situation to prospective new lawyers???

Fleecy: We have this revolutionary new product, it's an OS that runs everywhere, we call it AmigaAnywhere. We want it to run on everything.

Lawyer: Ok, so what can I do for you?

Fleecy: Well, we're being sued.

Lawyer: Why are they sueing you?

Fleecy: Well, they want to run our OS on their hardware.

Lawyer: Ok, and what's the problem?

Fleecy: We don't want to.

Lawyer: Why not? Arn't you supposed to run everywhere? What about your contract?
...

How do they explain that to the Lawyers? It looks like to me, with the information that's public anyway, that Amiga's reluctance is personal, rather than business. Could this be the problem that drove the last law firm away?

I don't know, just talking out of my ass.
