Amiga brand name for sale

[Iggy]

If Hyperion is the only party that can market AmigaOS and CUSA has the right to sell Amiga Computers, what's Bill selling exactly?
Am I the only one that's confused.
Does anyone else have the nerve to call Barry? I've been through that and I'm not doing it again.

WTF does Bill think he has to sell? He never produced anything.
The name has swapped between multiple corporations (anyone remember KMOS?).
The IP has never really been his to control and the hardware patents (which are no longer valid) are probably still owned by Gateway2000 (which of course no longer exists).

And the big question. Who is going to be dumb enough to pay for a name w/o IP content?
No offense, Franko.

Perhaps C-USA will buy the Amiga name outright and use AROS with impunity.

Barry's not happy with AROS. However, he would be one possible buyer (no I'm not kidding, Altman is serious).

I've been thinking about this, and the only conclusion I can come to is Bill's giving up (thank God).

Maybe he thinks he can salvage a little money by getting Barry Altman (or someone else who will pay for it) to cough up some significant change for what soley amounts to a damaged trademark.

But I think the important thing we can take from this is Bill McEwen's out of here.

Hope you're right.  I took it the other way, that Bill's just trying to court a new supplier of paychecks for doing nuthin.

That would require a prior agreement. If Amiga Inc.actually has more than one owner, competitive bidding for the property would make it difficult for Bill to require his employment as a condition of the sale.

Edit - The latest statement I've seen on this situation states that Amiga Inc. is seeking "venture capital".
This may not indicated a sale of any IP or trademark. Rather, Mr. Bill may be trolling for someone else to finance his endevors
