@ Senex

Interesting opinion you have there, I would have said exactly the opposite. To bring all this confusion onto the public, is the worst you could IMO do for the sake of the Amiga community.

There are tons of examples where leading figures have fought issues publicly, with the witness of the general public. IMO this has greatly degraded and damaged the general image of the entire Amiga community.

For example, revealing Fleecy's confidential email meant solely for Bill Buck personally in the past, was very bad IMO. Just like Mr Buck now wants to discuss NDAed material on public forums.

Personally, I don't want to see Amiga employees fighting a "Did so" / "Did not" game on public forums.

Come on Mike, let's stop being so negative on this.  It's high time we come together as a community.  It's certainly nice to see the major split/forks starting to merge back in together, lets not spoil it, shall we?

@BBRV

WHAT? a contract is under NDA?!?!? My theacher of civil law will burn me alive like a witch if I ever *think* such a thing!!!

a contract is always a PUBLIC DEED, and therefore can be requested/viewed/published by anyone interested in the matter of the contract!

Clauses of NDA for contracts are outlawed by EU laws. Simply they doesn't exists. The reason is: the commons have the right to prevent actions - sanctionned by such contracts - that may cause harm to them or to the public.

So, Ben Hermans can publish it here without any worries about penalties. Usually trials take a very looong time here in europe...

dear BBRV, change marketing tactics, please. If you ever want to sell your pegasos to me, then ship amigaOS on it. Stop.

First of all, I think you owe an apology to those of Wiccan faith for such an unkind reference to their pursecution/genecide by Christians.

Second, aren't NDA's also covered by copyright laws, even in the UE?

Third, got a URL for the EU code or EU case law that supports your anti-NDA statement?

Now cheer up and be happy.  :-D

I remember met@box, and their campaigns on comp.sys.amiga.misc to win the mindshare of the amiga community. It was tough going, Gateway was a big serious company and while they never understood the community, people gave them the benefit of the doubt. And met@box was entirely vapor.

Still metabox had Dave Haynie, amiga celebrity, and Dr. Kitel both doing a fairly good job of explaining their position. In the end I think they did not grab the majority of mindshare. Not that it mattered, they never shipped anything and the mindshare issue never came into play.

Actually, PIOS/Met@Box did ship Mac CPU cards.  The PPC side of Met@Box was spun off to the USA (Texas) funded by Dave Haynie, until the idiots in control back stabbed him.  Oh well, that's how the tech companies go flush...
