This is really unbelievable. Why can't those *gentlemen* at Amiga, who obviously couldn't competently code a "hello world" demo, just go away and leave the OS development and by rights, this platform's future to competent people?

It was Hyperion who came begging to use the Amiga name. I've never been able to understand why they wanted to call OS4 "Amiga" in the first place - I guess the name has a certain appeal to rabid BAFs.

The honorable thing for Hyperion to have done would have been to go off and write the OS on their own, call it HypeOS, and bill it as Amiga-like. But no, they had to be Teh TRu3 AmiGa!!!11 Which is even funnier when you consider they had to write all the code from scratch anyway.

Don't take me wrong, I'm no AInc. booster. I just happen to think that both companies involved in the suit are scummy.

I'll take that popcorn now....

Edit: Removed random tinfoil hat theory. :-D

Personally I think this will be the final nail in the OS4 coffin.

Perhaps Amiga India will develop the sourcecode into OS4-Amiga.inc

I think it refers to the BAF's.

[Agafaster]

well given this speculation (and it is, unless anyone can prove what they are saying) then it sounds like AI want OS4 for free, without having to pay for Hyperions' work.
