Amiga Inc. Has Sold AmigaOS Rights : Comment 55 of 124 | ANN.lu |
Posted by gary_c on 16-Mar-2004 05:23 GMT | In reply to Comment 48 (Graham_nli): Especially when they win the court case against Thendic now they have the backing of KMOS and the money to fight.
Uh, FYI, Thendic/Genesi already won the case. What's in consideration now is interpretation of what was meant when their agreement was signed. KMOS would want to fund a court fight to win something they were led to believe they already bought? KMOS isn't "backing" Amiga, Inc. They simply bought the IP from them, or at least that's what the press release says. If Genesi doesn't convince the court that Bill McEwen meant what he said about the AmigaDE roadmap, then KMOS may in fact have a clear claim on AOS, but the water seems to be very muddy now, and we'll have to see how things look when it clears up.
It quite ruins his plans for getting control of Amiga, AmigaOS, etc.
If things pan out, but there's something fishy going on IMHO, with McEwen making no mention of this deal when under oath in court. Anyway, Genesi might be able to work with KMOS and get the results it wanted; it seems Garry Hare is more keen to do business than the old management was.
BTW, EyeAm, nobody needs to try to "sink" Amiga, Inc. anymore, if they ever did. Apparently they've taken themselves out of the desktop OS market for good with this sale. Better check the stars for KMOS as soon as possible.
