Thendic-Amiga Court Case - Latest Motions : Comment 62 of 216 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Jan Smite on 04-Mar-2004 14:50 GMT | In reply to Comment 35 (AdmV): Lets assume BBRV/Genesi win, with their wishes being granted by US courts.
1. Where does that leave Hyperion?
In a cold, dark night. Their work in hands of the competition for free and nodoby to pay for it. Perhaps BB will hire them to mantain the OS, since they know it better, but then what about MOS team?
2. Where does it leave people with A1 based systems?
At expenses of Bill Buck whishes. Or running Linux on an expensive PPC mobo :/
3. Where the hell is OS 4.2 going to come from? Is it going to be MOS based? Is it going to be a license of OS4 from Hyperion with additions by unknown other people? (MOS perhaps? AROS?)
With Buck having the right to use Amiga name and OS on its machines? No MOS anymore, in my opinion. Regarding Hyperion license, that would be funny to see: Hyperion getting a license on their own work!!
4. Will it mean that the Pegasos gets Amiga branded as well as being the Pegasos line?
I really think so. He didn't want Amiga name nor Amiga community nor Amiga OS, but have you seen the amount of effort he's putting in doing quite the opposite?
5. Will Genesi hook back into the Amiga community they said they left/wanted to leave?
See previous answer.
6. What legal issues will occur from angles not currently seen (Gateway? EU law? Other issues?)
I think Gateway has nothing to tell about all this story, they sold all Amiga IP to Amino, except for a pair of hardware patents. As for EU laws, I don't know.
7. Given Genesi's current financial, no wait, let me rephrase- Rough estimated financial position, are they in a good position to actually use what they have won in court?
AFAIR, Bill McEwen paid up to 5 million dollar for Amiga. Buck will get it nearly for free. If the whole situation ends with Amiga Inc bankrucpy, Buck can even claim IP adquired by Amino from Gateway as payment of all legal expenses. So he would end with Amiga at his hands :(
I think now is really the time to both Hyperion and Eyetech to think about a joint effort in order to keep their rights and their respective works.
