I'll assume a typo on your part.
B(s) is one thing.
BS quite another.

No typo... I was just being polite by not saying "that's one hell of a lot of fecking B@$!@&*s"

But BS fit's the "Bill" just as well...

Heh, either way...
But I have a serious question for you.

When one makes a statement it is very difficult to determine whom it will affect and in what way.
There is an issue troubling me lately, and I've posted about it elsewhere.
My quandry is whether to throw it open to the public or not.
Any advice, or should I just go back and hide in a cave?

Didn't ask me, but I think you should just say it.  Worrying about butterflies in the Amazon never did anyone any good.  I'm sure that given enough time, enough monkeys who can do mathematics, and enough slide rules one could figure out an equation as to the impact of your statement... but at what cost?  Better to get something off your chest and ask forgiveness if it was truly offensive than to get an ulcer worrying about all the thin-skins out there.

Just say it man and sod the consequences, go on spill the beans, let the cat out of the bag, confess your sins, sing like a jailbird...

Course it better be good or we'll give you a roasting for it...

Oooh Number is replying... here it comes... :eek:

Link?

Thank you jorkany.
That's probably the best way to start.
If you ignore the "hah hah" comments in the thread and just focus on the serious questions being asked, I'm sure you'll understand where I'm going with this.

Having already read that thread earlier, sorry but I don't understand where you're going with this

If you're talking about the "executor of the estate" thing, I wondered about that myself. Who is the executor of Kouri's estate, do we know? I can't think of anyone else who that might refer to.

Anyway, I was kind of hoping you were referring to a post that appeared on moobunny this morning.

I think Todd Kleperis' statement is curious, since we know that the only executor involved is:

http://www.linkedin.com/pub/john-grzymala/10/8b2/416

Who clearly is acting on behalf of Itec for the Kouri family trust.

As fast as the original new story by cgutjahr was "updated" to indicate this was about Amiga Inc. and not the trust...the news was removed.

I feel this puts Mr. Kleperis in the difficult position of having to explain this partnership and whom is licensing the name.

If Mr. Gryzmala can state that he's still on the board of Amiga Inc. and acting in their behalf, this would clear up the matter.

Of course, if this comment about a trust applies to something entirely different, that would also clarify the situation.

Don't take this the wrong way but... I've never quite understood your fascination with raking through all these posts and sites and statements issued by anybody and everybody about all the shady goings on behind the scenes when it comes to the Amiga !!!

Is it a professional interest you have or just a hobby, to be honest as much as I love all things Commodore & Amiga I couldn't be bothered with who says what and who claims what anymore, personally I just like ripping the piss out of the whole thing and the numpties behind all the statements...

Kinda prefer like yesterday on here to read and try and help out folk with genuine Amiga hardware/software questions than all this malarky about IPs, copyrights etc...

Although these threads are good for a laugh though but nothing more...

[jorkany]

number6,

Well, maybe Mr. Kleperis got wind of the licensing through a contact at ITEC originally, and was directed from there. So maybe from his point of view it was okay to post the news item that was removed about it at the time, not knowing how everything having to do with Amiga today is required to involve a certain level of cloak-and-dagger. Then someone clarified that he really should refer to AInc. as the license provider and leave ITEC out of it.

Just saying, it could be fairly innocuous.

Is AInc. still a subsidiary of ITEC?

Guess I missed that! So AInc. settled with Cloanto? I wasn't even aware that they had filed against Cloanto, actually. What exactly is Serial No. 78/907083 anyway?

Dunno Cybil !!!

Even though that pdf looked short, I just can't be bothered reading any of these things anymore, it's far easier just to do what ever you want with the Amiga name cos at the end of the day who's gonna bother trying to sue everyone...

Mind you those lawyers have had and have a job for life with the silly buggers who still argue about it in courts, they're the only ones still making money from the Amiga these days...
