If you are taking question here are mine.

Do you agree with Amiga Inc position that use of the Workbench name could harm other Amiga related products.  (that the whole bases for the court case with Cloanto.)

Do you at least understand the concerns and issues that some Amiga users have with using the name Workbench, epsically calling it version 5.

Do you not see a conflict of similar names Amiga 1000X and AmigaOne X1000.

(try not let him turn this around to say a-eon/hyperion should just be told the same thing to change there names, simple fact is both AmigaOS4 and AmigaOne x1000 projects and brand names where used before CommodreUSA and by calling there products so close to these already existing brand name does feel like a lack of respect to the existing Amiga community and is partly the reason for the hostility towards his company )

Thank you, what ever happens, I'm going to buy a lot of pop corn :)

Thank you for the response, just a little comment its a tad unprofessional and unnecessary to add the line “I'm afraid you're going to have to get over it.” I completely understand you now own/license to the Amiga name to do with as you want, I was more asking weather you understand and admit that calling these product so close to pre-existing Amiga project is going to cause problems and annoyance from the Amiga community.  
 
Put it this way your company has already admitted its not happy that this very site has amiga.org, now imagine if I started a company called it FommodoreUK and used the same cases called it the A1XXX and place a linux OS on it and called it Kickstart 5.1 you wouldn't be very happy would you.   That all I'm saying and I hope you understand why so many people are negative towards you.  

 Saying things like, we own the name, we can do what we want, deal with, doesn't help matters. You could at least say “we understand you concerns and some of the objections to the name, these products names are not final, and we will take you concerns into consideration” even if its a complete lie that what a proper PR or CTO would do.
