New Rant: "Community Take Control" at Class Of X : Comment 2 of 17ANN.lu

Three things...
1. "Likewise Thendic/Bplan would have sued Amiga for spreading lies if they were sure that MorphOS was 100% legal."
Well, Amiga Inc. has been rather quiet so far. If there was someone to sue for spreading lies about MorphOS, it would be most certainly Mr. Ben Hermans who has been a lot more active than any Amiga Inc. employee in this regard.
On the other hand, if I was in Thendic's position, I would just sit back and wait for Hyperion/Amiga to to throw the first stone. If Amiga Inc. sues first and fails/wins, everyone will say they were just trying to protect their IP. However, if Thendic sued first, they'd be most certainly recognized as "aggressors" trying to hinder "The Amiga Course(TM)"...
So yeah, there are good reasons for Thendic not to sue anybody of Hyperion/Amiga as of yet.
2. "For example it the reasons why the MorphOS team and Amiga didn't co-operate has changed many times from both sides, indicating that neither side knows or wants to say why it never worked out."
This is simply not true. Amiga Inc. has never commented why the cooperation with bPlan failed. And Ralph Schmidt of bPlan has never stopped staying that things fell apart because Amiga Inc. formulated condititions which bPlan thought, were unaccaptable. It's as simple as that. bPlan didn't like the contract proposal (which was written by Mr. Ben Hermans of Hyperion who ... SURPRISE, SURPRISE... later took over the AmigaOS4 project instead), but Amiga Inc. weren't willing to accept changes.
This sort of stuff happens all the time!
(Well, except for the Ben Hermans part perhaps (i.e. competing party being involved in negotations for no apparent reason).)
3. "A crisis meeting to discuss how to stop the whole market self-destructing. It should be held some place neutral [...snipped...] and it should be well planned and well structured. Something needs to be done to clear the air, and needs to be done urgently."
Rest assured, there will be a meeting between all parties involved. Everything will be well planned and well structured. Everyone will have its own arguments well prepared. And it will take place at a neutral place, too. Namely, a German court!
