Currently Hyperion ... are completely independent from Amiga Inc, ...  Hyperion as older company that won AmigaOS in court case.


1. Hyperion *has not* won anything in a court case.
2. Hyperion *does not* own Amiga OS.
3. Hyperion *is not* completely independent from Amiga Inc.

Get your facts straight...

:rolleyes:
MorphOS is Amiga done right! :)

OK, let put it differently. Hyperion is happy with outcome of last court case, Amiga Inc. less so. AFAIK Hyperion is still allowed to sell OS4 and no licensing money is flowing from Hyperion to Amiga Inc. Don't think that was the outcome Amiga Inc. wanted.


True, this is not what *any* IP owner would have wanted, and this is why I think the deal will be challenged as soon as (if) some new entity takes over Amiga Inc or its IP.

They only own Amiga OS 4.x that's it.


Exactly, or more specifically, they only own the "OS4 additions" to Amiga OS, and that Amiga OS *is still owned* by Amiga Inc, and without it there can be no OS4! So again – Hyperion *did not* win anything, they *don't* own Amiga OS, and they *are not* independent of Amiga Inc.
