"A couple of clarifications" from Bill McEwen

[dammy]

I notice that item #2 in that mail takes the wind out of alot of cynical, pessimistic interpretation I have seen being waved around, and banged over people's heads, as if it were incontrovertible fact...

Smells more like damage control since Friedens (SP?) own ExecSG and Hyperion doesn't.  So if Amiga Inc has triggered the buy back clause, they don't get ExecSG which means they have please the Friedens so  they will ink a contract.  Friedens probably do not like the public out cry that was in result of McBill's statement about lawyers between Amiga Inc and Hyperion since that poisons the waters that Friedens want as a market.  Atleast that's my read on it.

well that contradicts what Bill said. AI is working on OS5 in house, meaning not Hyperion/Friedens.

Do you really think they have broken status quoa and hired AOS developers as full time employees?  I don't see it.  I can see them subcontracting things out, like Friedens to do the kernel.
