Strange question.
Why would "anybody" do that? Since this wouldn't stop the development of Amiga OS, Hyperium would still have the right to code Amiga and that "somebody else", with the Amiga name, would be sued for copyright infringement for using it as the name of unrelated code.
There are many similar UNIX OSs but they don't try to steal each other's name. Just because MorphOs has a similar gui, doesn't mean it should have the Amiga name. I'm not sure why some people are obsessed with this. |
