amiga.org branded computer?

[Turrican]

let's say the owner of amiga.org (or amiga.***) wants to produce a computer (pc, pegasos, ...) with the domain name as a brand.

"amiga.org compatible computer"

or "org.amiga.computer"

or "pc.amiga.org"

would that be possible?

As they are using the word Amiga (and in the context of a computer) then they would need to get a licence from Amiga.

Probably not a big deal though, Amiga would just want some money.

Other than that, yes.

What exactly is an "amiga.org compatible computer"?

It's got an Amiga.org sticker and the web browser in pre configured with Amiga.org as it's homepage  :lol:

Nothing in particular, just an idea. I stumbled across this (do you remember?) and I thought what if we could use a domain name as a brand for an open amiga computer?

I see. Well I think Ainc would see it as whoever produced it capitalising on the Amiga name. I doubt they would allow it.

Wow!  That brings back memories.  I can't believe that was 3 years ago.  I feel old :-(

Shame that it never really happened the way things were supposed to.  It was a good idea, and one of a few bright things during a rather dark time.  

Hmmn, all that time ago and OS4 still hasn't been officially released.

Yup... nothing has changed in the amiga world...
