[News] Serious allegations about H&P | ANN.lu |

Amigo follows up on serious allegations about H&P and says: "I also just asked Unisys as it says here, and am waiting for a reply. If true, H&P could probably be forced to close."
[ If H&P indeed didn't pay royalties for Unisys' GIF algorithm, they might not be forced to close per se, but if this is indeed true, and Unisys decides to sue, they might have to pay some serious fines. Also note that while this is not in unmoderated, it's highly speculative, unconfirmed and generally should be taken with the usual grain of salt - CK ]

>You're speaking about theft when there was no court decision?
In the Phase 5 case? No, no theft. Criminal misrepresentation and fraud.
Like I said, this is a matter of public record. Ask the receiver.
>Look it's quite easy why I decided not to buy Freespace:
>1) You said "that it is a well known fact that MorphOS is based on
>OS3.1 source". Did Amiga sue them? Is there a court decision? Did you
>present any facts about this issue? No.
Oh, so now it is a personal matter.
Patience.
>2) You say that it might be ok to sell AmiTCP.
I never said any such thing. Read what I posted.
>Even if it might be legal (we don't know because some companies try to find a >solution without courts first)
yeah and other "companies" start coding before have the right to do so.
>I think that it is not ok (or to speak in your language: "it's a bit unfair") >and *I* consider it as piracy. As you, speaking for a company, defend this >action I decided not to buy more products from your company. Quite easy.
At least you don't steal from us unlike other MorphOS related companies. |
