Wrong order. Never buy hardware until the software you want runs on it.

(No pun intended towards current Teron owners)

I would be highly surpriced if these new (mostly unknown) right holders would use same terms or even allow old licenses to carry on.

Then prepare to be highly surprised!  KMOS stated in the purchase announcment they would indeed honour all contracts/licenses for Hyperion and Eyetech.

We don't know what those contracts with single companies say and include.
Just because the single company Eyetech might still have the right to sell Terons under their "AmigaOne" label with the single companies Hyperion's and KMOS's OS, this doesn't necessarily imply that the compulsory hardware licensing/bundling/dongling scheme is/will still be in place.

OTOH, so far it appears to me like KMOS is merely an AInc shell company, and AInc shuffling dates, names and assets around on paper doesn't have to mean anything concrete for AmigaOS. Until we hear otherwise (it's only been a year or so... ), we can assume that idiocy/disinterest still rules and the scheme is still in place.

There has never been an "Eyetech only" policy.  It has always been said that anyone who wished to have their hardware run OS4 only needed to obtain a proper license from Amiga.  Until now, nobody else has wanted to, apparently.

I only know of one other instance of interest in that license, and after one e-mail reply that company never heard from AInc again.

Anyone remember the company's name? I lost all my bookmarks in a recent Galeon upgrade, but they posted it in a comment on ANN. "PC Express" or something. I remember it was a US company that seemed to be at least as capable and reputable as the current licensee.
