Refer to Sun vs MS regarding the Java case i.e. MS has to withdraw bastardize MS Java.
> Does Amiga have the right to demand looking at Morphos proprietary code? No!
Refer to Java case i.e. MS has to withdraw bastardize MS Java.
Did MS has to withdraw MS's proprietary code?
> Does Amiga have a right to look at AROS code?
Refer Tao's Java VM as an example i.e. they don't have any problems with Sun. Sun(i.e. Author of IP) is satisfied with it's implementation, thus no sue.
> What about Amithlon? You still need a ROM image and the OS so there is nothing there to sue over?
Refer to Java case i.e. MS has to withdraw bastardize MS Java.
> UAE? :) doubtful
Of course it's doubtful, since it's the main application for the licensed Amiga Forever CD. License is issued between Cloanto and Amiga Inc.
It's the approval (or wishes) from the copyright holder.
> AmigaXL? ..... H&P?
Refer to Java case i.e. MS has to withdraw bastardize MS Java.
I don't recall H&P being part of the license deal between Cloanto* and Amiga Inc.
*Also includes UAE group since they are the main contributors for the licensed Amiga Forever CD.
> How else is Amiga going to know whether or not the wrong doers are becomming
> legal?
Refer to Java case i.e. MS has to withdraw bastardize MS Java.
Main intent of copyright is to protect the wishes of the Author. Author can grant or revoke licenses(the right to use). |
