Who owns AmigaOS?
« on: February 21, 2011, 09:39:31 AM »
Hello, I do not wish yo start any sort of dog fight, I just lost track on who owns (at least the code base) of AmigaOS. The last AmigaOS was developed by Hyperion Entertainment. Some months ago Hyperion Entertainment announced that they had agreed/settled with Amiga Inc. and that they will release a new version of AmigaOS. Then Commodore US entered in the scene. Amiga Inc. and Commodore US announced that they had an agreement on the Amiga brand name.  Hyperion Entertainment cried foul and that is where I did not continue to follow. Now I was wondering; who owns what?

Hyperion own the rights to develope future versions of AmigaOS 4 and above.  Whatever Commodore USA is releasing is not AmigaOS.

Yes, but can Hyperion release future versions of AmigaOS under the "Amiga" name?
