Amiga Inc Exec Sept 02 Update : Comment 85 of 91 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Bill Hoggett on 08-Sep-2002 18:44 GMT | In reply to Comment 83 (Darrin): @Darrin
Just speculation, but there were probably a number of complications going back to pre-Amithlon days. Remember, Amiga Inc say they've never been paid any royalties for any of the AmigaOS 3.9 copies sold either, and while OS 3.9 is copyrighted to Amiga Inc, H&P are the ones holding the source code. (another fine mess...)
My guess is that H&P agreed to whatever Amiga Inc required verbally, so that AI would give permission for AOSXL to be distributed - without that permission, the Amithlon authors wouldn't have signed a contract with H&P - but once they had the contract with Harald and Bernie and AOSXL was on the market they decided not to sign the contract with Amiga Inc, presumably because they assumed they would never be challenged over it. It does seem H&P have a rather cavalier attitide towards other people's IP and licenses (see AmiTCP, the ROM images, AmigaXL).
The problem with this market is that there are too many greedy people fighting over too few scraps. :( |
