> the licence benefits Ainc the most actually, as Eyetech pays the licence fee to Ainc.
You are talking about a different kind of license now. Somebody wants to use the Amiga trademark to name a computer after it? License it and pay a price. Fair enough. Eyetech does. A company wants source code access to AmigaOS3? Pay for the pleasure. And a distributor of OS4 obviously must pay Hyperion. I have no problem with the concept of selling IP. That is exactly what would be "reasonable". The point where it all goes south is the insane insistance that a mainboard maker has to "license" OS4 to enable Hyperion to sell more copies of OS4 to customers of said mainboard maker. If you think that makes sense, you need frontal lobotomy ;) It's the fucking job of an OS maker to bring the OS to their target audience. Because they get paid for it. By the customers. Don't say Pegasos isn't their target audience. It only isn't because they choose it shouldn't. Egomaniacs clashing. Unfortunetely it's impossible to talk sense into anybody: they rather loose sales and half the market to MorphOS than stepping down from a suspect position. And that is the reason why I think that many Amiga software makers are infuriated, to come back to this thread. It's an unnecessary deadlock at the developer's expense. |
