Jens won't release the Clone-A without proper licensing. Bill McEwen has offered a license, but has failed to prove that he has the authority to do so.
So the Clone-A hangs in limbo as Jens won't release it till he can obtain valid licensing.

Can't he talk directly to Gateway, Inc ?

Besides if ACube can deliver complete clones. Then Jens ought to be able to deliver chip clones?

Gateway sold its trademarks and then subsequently licensed its patents to Amino.

The question is, did Gateway have a proper license for this technology?

The last valid IP holders appear to be Commodore-Amiga.
The oly rights

 What Commodore agreed to sell were  trade marks.


And as a side light, Acube machines are NOT clones. They don't run legacy software (easily) and represent a new direction for the OS and the hardware.
