There is more pleasure to be found in bitching about it than settling it once and for all. Various similar court cases that have been settled suggest that P96 authors have very little legal ground to stand on when it comes to third party drivers made simply by studying how their own drivers function and operate. They can be unhappy and whine about it by proxy as much as they want, but it only puts themselves in a bad light.
Instead of all this mindboggling nonsense, they _could_ have chosen a different route, to be supportive, to open up P96 for anyone to use and develp for, and set up a donation account for people who simply want to show their gratitude. They could chose to become "good guys" in Amiga world and even make some money from it. But nah, that would mean changing attitude, and if there is one thing old grumpy amiga developers are not good at, it is changing attitudes.
