Gabriele are you joking? The danger is real!
It could happen that a single moron will signal it to the commerce authorities and the judge is forced to proceed if he will notice *ANY* infringment of the law.
The procedings to stop che advertising champaign will then start automatically.
The legal sue will come after, and only when real infringment will be certified...

Gabriele where do you had lived in these years?
Boing Ball is the registered logo of Amiga Inc. as stated in a lots of documents into internet... let's do a check with a search engine.
For example I can suggest you:
http://amiga.emugaming.com/logo.html
In which you can read the whole story of the Amiga logos...

So they must drop all things referring to Amiga, except the Amiga boingball logo presented in the page of supported OSes.
Because other pictures with both Amiga ball and MorpOS butterfly together, could ingenerate confusion and consequently are a law infringment as stated in:
Art 3 Bis point d) of the law.

I will hope it too...
But unfortunately the reality it is only a story of menaces of sue between both competitors, and a recent story of true legal procedings...
>but I also believe in a free market and freedom of speech.
Free market and freedom of speech are both beautiful different things...
And the free market is only an utopy because everything is subject to the laws...
Not to talk about what happens to the concept of freedom of speech applied into real world...
:-((((((((((((((

Ah, if only that was the Heaven's Will...

>It just means 'amigaos morphed into something new'.
Genesi had buyed Amiga Inc.?
No...
Or at least... simply still not
;-))))))))))
So until that day in which Genesi will acquire Amiga Inc., both logo must stay well divided.
Otherwise we are in serious danger to lose the good site that Miky realized.

It is their choice to do so and to risk about that...

I have some friends of mine who are lawyers and old Amiga users. I can ask them if there is some real problem.
