Why did Amiga Inc announce this?

[T_Bone]

I mean, it's been a year since this has happened, so why now? Why did they decide that now was the time to go public with this secret?

Yup, the more you look at it the more dodgy it seems... Let's not forget that there is a still doubt as to wether or not Escom actually purchaced the rights to the AmigaOS IP, and if subsequent owners of the brand name actually have the right to use it...

Ahhh, well. It's not like it really matters anymore any way :-/

Maybe they forgot.  What with all the other stuff they've been getting up to, like making sure T-shirts go out to customers!...

But who's going to take them (or anyone else for that matter) up on it if they didn't manage to purchase the rights?

Exactly, the answer is "Who cares?", the AmigaOS IP is worth just a tiny bit more than the GEM IP...

This all sounds like monkey-business to me... I did a quick google search for Gar(r)y Hare and KMos, or even Itec. Not a single thing of interest besides the ann.lu, moobunny and a.org postings. I doubt Kmos has paid any more than a days salary for the AmigaOS rights..
When I see the case in a strictly objective point of view, it still looks like prefabrication of evidence. Amiga Inc are baaaad..

My personal opinion, let the flaming begin :lol:

Makes you wonder about that "ask Fleecy" bollox, either Fleecy has used/abused that site to blatently mislead people for months or the admins knew about it and played along.

What makes it worse Fleecy and chums are still being made out to be Hereos.

This could be a good thing, I don't know (will wait and see what happens), but is it legal?

I seriously doubt AOS was sold nearly a year ago. Probably something they just made up so they have some evidence to bring to court, and to transfer the only true asset out of an, in my opinion, bankruptcy soon-to-come. Is it just a coincidence that the same day they announce that they are returning to the courtroom with new evidence? Why did'nt they present it in the previous case?

Man! I know b***hi*t when I smelll it. To bad they are bringing bad reputation onto the Amiga-community.

@ Morley

This is how I understand things:

1. The Genesi vs. Amiga Inc case is closed. Genesi won.

2. After the cased closed, Genesi filed a "motion to modify order", to "refine" some of the wordings in the ruling. Note, this is NOT a new case, the case is still closed.

3. Now some Amiga Inc related people filed a lot of *responses* to that motion. This is not an appeal, the case is still closed and settled in the same way as before.

No one is "returning to court with evidence". The case is closed. Or?

Let me ask:

Why Hyperion was spreading AmigaOS beta with false copyright information?

Hyperion knew AmigaOS was sold for KMOS but copyright information in AmigaOS beta has been incorrect over a year.

@TMHG

Okey, I don't have any form of law school, so your probably right... And furthermore I the technical english terms used by lawyers is like greek to me,  :lol:

But anyway, you don't have to be more than street-wise to smell what's going on. Looks like their last attempt to stop OS4 for running on Pegasos? I dunno. Cause I can't see what Genesis want's the AmigeDE player, AmigaAnywhere,-call-it-what-you-like, for.

The A.Inc ship is sinking, and their just trying to get the valuables with them...

Well, if it's one thing that'll make me never by an AOne or OS4.0, it's this soap-opera. Linux vs. SCO is not complex at all compared to this.. :pissed:
