Evert Carton leaves Hyperion

Trademarks, logos, copyrights went to Amiga Inc along with Amiga inventory.

Your evidence for this is?

That was announced back when Amiga Inc bought (in adition, licenses for Amiga patents) Amiga from GW (now Acer). What was that, 11 years ago?

No, what was announced was that Amino were granted a licence by Gateway to use the trademarks.

I look forward to the cease and desist letters Commodore   Amiga (Iran) will no doubt receive from Amino when they finally get around to hosting all variants of the Kickstart and Workbench for free download.......

Yeah... but that's the question we all want answered "Who does own what "...

Of course with all the grey/ shady and murky dealings over the years it may actually be proven in a court of law that "no-one" can actually now claim full rights on any of it after the whole shambles and "grey" dealings that have gone on over the years...

Myself I really couldn't care less about folk making such stuff free to download until someone steps forward and proves to the world that they actually own it, until that day then most likely these debates will continue as nothing more than speculation and rumours that for some odd reason we here in Amigaland seem to love so much...

As I've said simply make the stuff available on enough websites and see if anyone steps forward to challenge it, and forget about USA laws that may be upcoming, USA law does not apply to the rest of the planet as some would have you believe...

Marg bar Amrika!
