A post confirming stuff about MorphOS

[AmiGR]

You wish, DrHirudo. Many of the developers never had a contract with Genesi or anyone,
they always did stuff as a hobby, yet if you see what they have developed in less than a
year you'll change your mind. No matter how much you want it, MorphOS is NOT over, it
WON'T leave you alone.

Amen to that. :-)

Yes, Wayne, *you* did open Pandora's box...

1. We do not owe you anything.  You had no contract and failed to perform the work required.  After Paul's email and the review of the situation we decided you were seriously over-paid.  No amount of name calling will change that.

2. There are others who unlike you we do feel need to be compensated for contributing something.  These people include Thomas, Jennifer, David, Kermit and Nate.  In Europe, there are others including Jacek, Grzegorz, Michal, Felix, David and Stefan.  We have made a pledge to them and we will keep it.  In fact, on that list every single one of them has received at least one partial payment (and some more) in 2004 with the exception of Kermit.  As far as we are concerned that is the complete list.  We have also fully paid many other people.

We came to visit you and Melissa in October 2004 and spent three days in Huntsville just to understand if you had the ability to really do what needed to be done.  You were fully informed of the difficult situation.  Your rants here only further confirm our opinion of your character, which unlike you we have not posted.

Wayne did not have a contract.  

Wayne was never an employee.

Read the email from Paul.

Wayne was paid far too much for far too little performance.

End of story.

So what IRS catagory did Wayne fall in then?

OK....now that I have read ALL the comments here...

I am Sorry, Wayne, that you had difficult times last year.  Hope things turn out better next year.

I can't stop laughing from the Muppets pics joke.  I'm sorry, but's that too funny. :lol:

Hey, Paul Adams, stop playing Superman for Bill Buck.  He's your "Lex Luther" your greatest business partner in crime.  Everyone knows that by now.  Even people from the other news site which I will not say are commenting.  

*sigh*   I have to go now....I need to replace the battery in my car or else I'm going to have a bad Thanksgiving weekend for sure.

@bbrv

I've read the words out of your mouths on the web.  How many times have you told me that you own the Amiga OS?  Why would I ever believe you?  Wayne has never lied to me, just you.

@Dammy -- work for hire consultant exactly as Paul explained.

IANAL, but since there was no contract (did Wayne have his own company to do a contract with?), Rule 84-74 or see 87-41 in abit easier to understand guidelines of what his legal status was.  To borrow a paraphrase often used with employment status as far as IRS is concerned, "If it walks like a duck, sounds like a duck, and looks like a duck, it's an employee."

I remember recently complaining about some things KMOS had promised but as yet not delivered, and in particular I complained about their failure to communicate with the Amiga community.

When I see the bickering about employees and pay going on here, which really should be kept behind closed doors, I now question my very own complaints!

I feel it is very very VERY unprofessional for the bosses of a company to bicker about employee pay with employees on a public forum and it makes a complete mockery of Genesi altogether.

I have one word to say about Genesi and this whole bickering subject.

AMATEUR.

doodoohead, you are. We have never said we own AmigaOS.

Really?  Care to explain how you thought you'd go about this then?

What will happen next?

1. Genesi will enforce the "upgrade" clauses to AmigaOS 4.2 and beyond.
2. The Hyperion/Eyetech OS 4.0 Agreement will be declared "null and void and of no force or effect."
3. We will sublicense under the Agreement and the ruling.

We are so tired of some of the "idiots" in this community.

It is time to end all this.

Under the Table.
