"In 2001, Amiga, Inc. entered into a license for the development of AmigaOS 4.0 with AmigaOne® Partners, collectively Hyperion VOF and Eyetech Group Ltd. The license agreement was terminated on December 20, 2006."

So a few days before the release of "OS4 final update", the licensing agreement was supposedly canceled by Amiga Inc.?

OTOH, McEwen stated in the 25 Q&A that they already completed the buyback in 2003...

Your comments?

McEwen states that Amiga Inc back in 2003 already tried to execute the buyback clause, which Hyperion refused to comply to (McEwen: "the situation is more than infuriating"). Three years later with no solution, Amiga Inc pulls the plug on the deal altogether, thus cancelling Hyperions legal rights to develop and make a business based on OS4; after the 20th December 2006 Hyperion can not legally sell anything based on Amiga IP (unless a new contract was signed granting them these rights).

Just my 2 öre...
MorphOS is Amiga done right! :)
