According others (= I didn't check) it was also a short-time news on Amigaworld.net.

I don't expect it to be real... Sounds too strange.. even considering everythign else happening.   :-o  :-?  :-o

Awesome!

It would explain why Amiga Inc were happy to roll over in the thendic vs amiga case.


IMHO That lawsuit had it's merits as it is, there is/was a deal and in a way it was written... I can see that case as a way to enforce years old deal (includin related trademarks, access to code etc). *But* BBRV trying to expand it for OS4 would indeed be quite big leap (IANAL, but it don¨t feel 100% proof idea).

This would leave bbrv chasing shadows....


I think you forget something quite obvious. *If* this were real.. this KMOS (Garry Hare backed by vernture capiltalists, most likely the same that originally backed Ainc) is more likely been willing to make a decent licensing/distribution deal about OS4 than AmigaInc was.. So in the end. BBRV Could get it with *less* money/effort that way.

So far.. only thing that makes it feel even a bit more real is unclear action of Hermans.. and I'd rather heard it from himself. Perhaps he knows there is some truth in it???
