For all of the guys complaining about Amiga Inc. We're lucky we even have Amiga Forever.
It isn't illegal for Amiga Inc NOT to license the technology. Amiga fans may not like it, it may not a good thing, but this sort of thing happens all the time.
Indeed, and they really should be somewhat choosy to make sure we get some wuality results from anyone they do allow a license to. But... It is more than a little annoying that Amiga Inc. made such a big deal about telling everyone they were going to license new hardware, they set up that technologylicensing@amiga.com email (or whatever it was exactly) which was intended to receive and discuss any and all licensing inquiries, and then immediately and completely ingore everyone who tried to do what Amiga Inc. asked of us. Bill McEwen in some 20 questions interview thing said he sent out questionairres to any and all who inquired this way. I don't believe him at all about that. I contacted that email address a number of times, I even stopped using yam on my A4000 and started emailing on my PC/thunderbird in case my A4000T was eating emails somehow. (unlikely as I got a lot of email on it) I never received any response of any kind whatsoever from Amiga Inc.
So while it's not illegal to refuse licensing, you're right, I do think that McEwen and friends were just jerking us around. And that does irritate me, and I will feel free to complain about that.
