The legal Commodore entity and whatever sub-entities that exist are so  legally screwed it is not funny. It is too bad for the Florida people  that probably thought everything was cool when they got established.  Commodore is cursed, it always will be. That is all there is to it. I say this as a neutral  party - I am no CUSA fan-boy or anything. I'm an original 8 bit burnout from the PET days  so Commodore to me will always be this golden era. I do not even count  Amiga higher than PET in the grand scheme of things. To me Amiga was a  latter acquisition of curious nature. Each to their own however. Many  people probably are newer and only relate Commodore to Amiga only. So  this whole Commodore trademark thing is all trash. It will never escape  the legal garbage cleanly. One bankruptcy after another. One legal  ownership transfer after another. It is rubbish plain and simple. Amiga  is cursed in the same way, just to a lesser degree. It's all dead folks  and taken over by filthy rats, greedy lesser forms of life plain and simple. All trying to make a buck on something a former generation made great - not them. Bums......

The Florida people may make it out alright somehow. Who knows in reality  though because lawyers, judges, and the entire legal system are all  evil. To hell with Commodore and to hell with Amiga too (in legal  senses). Many people like to be armchair lawyers and Greek debate all of  this garbage. Not me. What we have here is a free for all. A few  spinoff camps that share a common API is what we are left with. Join one  camp, join multiple camps, do whatever you want. Not one bit of it is  Commodore anymore. There are the famous red-blue wars. Screw that too.  The community needs to realize that this is all crapola. Just use  whatever computer you want and have fun with it. None of them will  amount to anything major. But that does not mean we can't make a hobby  out of whatever we choose. For me I have a garage full of original  Commodore garbage. 64's, 128's, 1000's, 500's 2000's 3000's. Out of all  the piles of this sh**, you power up an 8 bit machine in front of me from the golden  era, and I instantly remember scads of poke and peek values. Go figure  because I can hardly remember what I ate yesterday but I can remember a  poke value from 25 years ago.

Commodore is screwed. Hopefully the latest Florida victim comes out of  it in one piece. For me, my name is the phonetic reverse. My theme,  reversing the curse.And if I ever decide to, I will do exactly that.

Cheers.
