AmigaPOP.8bit.co.uk is finally online!
Here you'll hopefully find all information you could possibly want about the "AmigaOS distribution policies and POP/PPC hardware petition". I hope the background information and FAQ will be especially helpful to clear up any confusion surrounding these issues.
If you have not yet signed the petition, then please do so now! Please help spreading the word by linking to AmigaPOP.8bit.co.uk. It's not too late to save our favourite OS and a unified POP-based hardware market!
In other news, I have finally managed to get in touch with the PetitionOnline.com administrators. The few abuse and sabotage attempts so far have been removed from the signatory listings. Not that any garbage would ever reach the recipient of our petition, but I understand some thought that it didn't look too good...

AmigaOS + POP/PPC petition official web site : Comment 244 of 280 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Donovan Reeve on 07-Jun-2002 20:21 GMT | In reply to Comment 222 (amigammc): "That means there was nobody left who owned Amiga,"
Not to flame you, just some information.
There is no such thing as anything not being owned unless the owners have
put it in the public domain. When Escom collapsed, their properties both
physical and intelectual then belonged to their creditors (those who they
owed money to). Those people/companies then had to wait for a court-appointed
reciever to sell the properties to try and get some of the money Escom had
owed them. So the Amiga properties were NOT in the public domain.
Of course all of this has nothing to do with Dave Haynie, who most
certainly was/is NOT a pirate. Far from it. He is an honest guy and a very
nice guy,! I know, because he was very helpful to me a couple of times.
Of course, the writer of that comment was apparently making a joke. I don't
think he meant to seriously say that Dave was a pirate.
