1 What will happen to amigaOS4 if no new hardware license is granted in 2006?

2 Can Hyperion and other programmers involved in AmigaOS4 decide to take their code back scrap any reference to the Amiga brand, call it let's say DancingBananaOS1.0, and port it to the harware platform they want ? (PPC or X86 or anything else)

3 Since Amiga Inc doesn't make the OS, doesn't make the hardware either, doesn't promote amigaOS and doesn't grant licences, inherently blocking amigaOS4 sales, what is exactly the value added by Amiga Inc for the amigaOS desktop user?

1) Do you have any plans to port AmigaOS x to AmigaAnywhere? It would let people run AmigaOS x on both PPC and x86 computers in hosted mode, and if they have any need to run more powerful programs, they can by an amigaone/clone and run AmigaOS in native mode.
2) Are you willing to releace the Clasic Amiga Hardware specs and AmigaOS 1.0-3.1 source code to the public? This would also help grow the platform, and if they need to run a more powerful program that would not run on AmigaOS 1.0-3.1 they would have to buy an amigaone/clone with AmigaOS 4.0 or above.

Some years ago, I ordered an AmigaOne XE computer from Software Hut. I got my AmigaOne XE, but never did get my copy of AmigaOS 4.0. Now I no longer have my AmigaOne XE, so AmigaOS 4.0 will not do me any good until I get a new AmigaOne. So anyways, is it posible to trade in my rights to use 1 copy of AmigaOS 4.0 on one AmigaOne Computer for the rights to develop Hardware to emulate clasic amigas?

How much would Amiga Inc. lose if a Windows ban went into effect?

@Amiga Inc.
You know that if you go public, you would not have tp worry about a windows ban as their is enough Amiga supporters to keep the stock from being harmed by Bll and his army of lemmings. ;-)
Is Amiga Inc. willing to go public?

Is Amiga Inc. willing to open the classic Amiga platform the same way IBM did the PC?

Did you read the proposed questions on amiga.org before the final 25 were selected and wish you hadn't offered ?
:lol:
Good One :-)
Are their any WebPages in witch we can download and/or view the Classic Amiga Hardware and/or bus protocol schematics? If not, is Amiga Inc. willing to setup such a Website?

Will Hyperion add support for Linux device drivers to AmigaOS? This will help becouse there are alot of good hardware companies like NVIDIA that have driver(s) for Linux, but for one reason or another are unwilling to port their driver(s) over to the AmigaOS.
