Amiga Inc. Plans to Shutdown Illegal Uses of Amiga IP : Comment 115 of 172 | ANN.lu |
Posted by 3seas on 30-Jul-2002 03:28 GMT | If people just stop and think about this.......
Either Amiga is going to have to go after people thinking they are stealing Amigas IP or the matter is of such nature that other parties have to do something to undo what Amiga knows is IP thieft.
Does Amiga have the right to demand looking at Morphos proprietary code? No!
And Morphos only becomes illegal if it is distributed With Amiga IP that is not licensed or otherwise approved of by Amiga. It is possible that in the development and perhaps reverse engineering there is Amiga IP being used, but being done so legally, in the since of having bought OS .....bla bla bla
Does Amiga have a right to look at AROS code? Not unless they have a copy of the .... Well from what I understand, Amiga has helped AROS in getting around some patent issues.....Why would they turn on AROS without notifying them of what is in violation? AROS code is supposed to be clean and of such nature that if something is wrong, they will simply remove it, the part in error.
What about Amithlon? You still need a ROM image and the OS so there is nothing there to sue over?
UAE? :) doubtful
AmigaXL? ..... H&P?
What this comes down to is proper legal paperwork and royalities.
How else is Amiga going to know whether or not the wrong doers are becomming legal?
Seems to me it's an open threat part blind, part knowing. |
