Hi Wayne, it is "official" now.  The question remains how far the application of the ruling will extend.  In any case, Genesi will NOT do it themselves and it will have nothing to do with MorphOS.  We would like to sub-license AROS in a scheme that would provide a portion of the royalties to them (majority) and to this site (and perhaps Amiga-News too and others, etc.?) as we discussed what seems now to be years ago.  We would still like to do that.  If we did that this site would become a promotional/community arm of the effort and there would not be trademark challenge to this site ever again.  :-)  Plus, the AROS people would then undeniably have "official" recognition too.  $4.50/unit would still need to go to a escrow account for Amiga Inc. so that employees and creditors with legal judgments against Amiga Inc. could be paid.

It should be a Community project and the royalty benefit should go to the people that deserve it, while at the same time maintaining this site and others (if everything works).  We are not looking for anything for Genesi in this arrangement just the ability to empower the license agreement and gain the greatest benefit possible for what is truly "Amiga."  We can sub-license and will look forward to establishing such an arrangement with all interested parties that want to work collaboratively and constructively.
