"Genesi announced this morning that the US Federal Court in Washington State had found in favor of its request for judgment against Amiga Inc. The Court's decision grants full relief to Genesi, including source code access to the licensed Amiga operating system and the full use of the Amiga trademarks.

Whether or not Genesi incorporates any of these features long term into MorphOS or any other of it strategic plans will now be the subject of investigation. Genesi will have full descretion to execute the license agreement unilaterally and is now free to pursue damages against Amiga Inc. "

Genesi wins lawsuit against Amiga Inc. : Comment 16 of 42ANN.lu

In reply to Comment 14 (Anonymous):
Genesi's contract predates Hyperions...

And the contract states that Amiga Inc would not compete with genesi's products, and GUESS WHAT?

The AmigaOne with AmigaOS4.X is in violation. So we see damages here Genesi may sue for. Plus damages from not having the Amiga name...

Can they PROVE these damages? Because of a thousand vocal "reds" yes they can, because the internet is full of "reds" screaming "I WILL NOT BUY A PEGASOS BECAUSE IT'S NOT AN AMIGA" "I WILL ONLY BUY IT IF IT SAYS AMIGA" et cetra ad naseum... it's quite trivial to show that Amiga not honoring the contract caused lost sales.

it will be interesting to see how this plays out. best of luck to all.
