Cloanto probably knows. It might actually be a couple different entities. Gateway might own certain IP. Amiga Inc. might. Lets see here anyone want a chunk? Hyperion has some rights to something Ainc can't legally take back or something.

ah persia beat me to the punch. well IIRC gateway still has some IP involvement too, probably some patents they still hold but dont do much with

Hyperion has some rights to develop and release os4. I think Amiga inc tried to take that away from them and Hyperion took them to court and won.

If you have an Amiga or roms or Amiga Forever you have the right to use the rom files.
