Amiga-News.de interviewing Ben Hermans : Comment 8 of 86 | ANN.lu |
Posted by takemehomegrandma on 19-Feb-2003 23:22 GMT | Nice to see (at least) some info regarding their project status. I know this has been requested among A1 buyers for a very a long time now. Even I am somewhat interested, but more from a spectators point of view of course! :-P

"If Amiga goes bankrupt, our license is commuted to an exclusive license to develop AmigaOS further, for any platform, not just PPC. This legally excludes a potential new owner from exploiting the source-code himself.
There is therefore nothing to be gained from buying Amiga's assets in the event of bankruptcy unless the new owner is willing to work with the OS 4 development team in good faith. "
----
A hypothetical question: What if the new owners instead of working with the OS4 development team in good faith decides to just take MorphOS or AROS and proclaim that "the new AmigaOS *5*", without using Hyperions source code at all?
I think that might be a valid question since I don't think Amiga Inc will be around that much longer ... |
