Apparently something important happened. Can someone briefly explain to me (without resorting to calling names and trolling) what the fuss is all about?
Some people say that cats are sneaky, evil and cruel. True, and they have many other fine qualities as well.

Okay. Am I to read 'has the rights to' as 'is owner of'? Or as 'cannot be legally locked out of prior licensing agreements'? Both cases would force all parties back to the negiotiating table, so that's good news.

However, what is to stop Amiga, Inc. from swiftly splitting up the proposed OS development path into a DE-only and AOS4-only one? Or renaming future upgrades to the AOS4 4.0.x as to avoid  selling a 4.2 product? (I'm sure that they cannot easily do so because of agreements with Hyperion, but still.) I can't recall DE as being that big a hit, so they might decide to drop DE-support in its entirety, turning the court ruling into a Phyrric victory if nothing else.

In other words, I'm still confused, but I take it that's a normal reaction... :-)

Talk about contrived ad hominems... I think I'll follow Red's example and settle in on a couch to watch what happens next.
