Order on Plantiff's Motion in Thendic Amiga Case

[System]

The motion by Genesi in their case against Amiga Inc was granted in part, but denied in other ways.  Specifically, Genesi is granted rights to AmigaDE (source code access is not specifically mentioned), but denies them access to AmigaOS.  Read more to get to the actual file and description.

Well, I for one am glad that OS4 is not under the control of Mr. Buck, however this whole affair has been confusing, entertaining, twisted and frankly bizarre...

I wonder whats going to happen next?  :-?

This subject is being discussed on Morphzone. So far it seems to be a pretty positive discussion with Amigaworld.net's staff participating.

Fences being mended?

This means that MOS users will be able to run Java applications (via Intend - up to version 1.4) pretty soon.... yeeeeeeeeheee  :-D

See my last post:-)

Not necessarily; the contract specifies that the AmigaDE must be ported to the Pegasos, not MorphOS; the Peg also runs LinuxPPC...

If I understand it right, the porting of Intent
would be done by Genesi and/or TAO, and the contract merely allows AmigaDE to run on top of that. Atleast that is what I thought about it before..

Does anyone have any idea how much work is required before AmigaDE will run on either MorphOS or AmigaOS4?

It's doubtful that Buck actually wanted OS4, since there's probably little in it that MOS hasn't implemented already. Though he would have taken it if he had the chance, of course. Also, DE has little value itself.

It was more probably a war of egos, but anyway it's past. Genesi might get the right to put a "Includes Amiga technology" sticker on MOS, and Hyperion get to sell their AmigaOS clone.

But as for fences being mended...I doubt it.

If he did not want it then why apply for the ammendment? Just to {bleep} people around? you bet!
With the OS he thought to have control and earn money from work that was not his, as well as being able to destroy eyetech in the hardware market if he so chose.

Not want? I bet he could barely contain the drool every time he thought about it

Also, DE has little value itself.

DE will be the foundation of AG2 if Fleecy's Q/A sections are to be believed.  I just hope DE is well supported by the time it is released in an unhosted form.

You mean like exactly like Amiga Inc were doing?

Van_M-

But . . . won't they have to install WinCE first?  :-o

We have normality.  I repeat:  We have normality.  Anything you still can't cope with is therefore your own problem.  Please relax.


Btw, what's Java got to do with AmigaDE?

[Van_M]

I thought that the Itend thingy that AmigaDE runs on, is able to run Java byte code up to versio 1.3. I also thought that AmigaDE is a multiplatform solution and runs on Windows, Linux and CE so far.
