To save a trip across the Net, here is the essence of it, quoted from the PDF file Rich posted:

"To the extent plaintiffs seek modification of the February 19, 2004, Order to include a list of the related items to which plaintiffs must be given access, the motion is GRANTED. To the extent plaintiffs are attempting to rewrite the License Agreement to cover operating systems other than Amiga's DE Operating System, the motion is DENIED.

"For all of the foregoing reasons, page 2, lines 8-12 of the Court's Order of February 19, 2004, is hereby amended as follows:

[cited paragraph]Plaintiffs are entitled to specific performance as requested in the complaint, 'i.e., integration of Amiga's DE Operating System into Thendic's Pegasos and/or other products in question.' Complaint at 2. Defendant shall, within thirty days of the date of this Order, grant plaintiffs rights and possession of the DE Operating System, along with the 'Enhancements,' 'Updates,' 'Upgrades,' and 'Documentation' that are related to that system, for integration into Pegasos.[end cited paragraph]"

So it looks like the next order of business for Amiga, Inc., now apparently relieved of the AmigaOS distraction by selling it to Itec/KMOS, is to get AmigaDE running on a Pegasos. The order is dated March 12, so apparently the responses filed by Amiga and friends on March 15 weren't a factor in the judge's decision.

Excellent synopsis and elucidation.

Especially on the 3/12 date signed by Lasnik and the 3/15 date of Amiga's pleadings.

Funny - NONE of Amigaa's declarations were notorized. I have had judges in municipal court not allow statements (as opposed to affadavits) because they were not notorized. (Learned my lesson).

Notorized statements have the same effect as sworn courtroom testimony.

So DE will have to be ported to the Pegasos now.. does this mean Amiga Inc have to turn over the source code and let Genesi to the port, or does Amiga Inc have to do it? If AI have to, this could be a good excuse to get an AmigaOS port done at the same time. Try and code as close to the OS 3.x API as possible, then when the MOS port is done they can do an AmigaOS version with minimal effort..

IMO Amiga Inc have to give Genesi compiled versions of all the DE libraries they have written, such as Ami2D, with full documentation, but not source code. Those libraries will then run on Intent as soon as Genesi persuades or pays Tao to make a version of Intent for the Pegasos.

As a sign of goodwill Amiga Inc could also include copies of some example games.

BBRV on Moobunny, some time ago:

" What will happen next?

1. Genesi will enforce the "upgrade" clauses to AmigaOS 4.2 and beyond.
2. The Hyperion/Eyetech OS 4.0 Agreement will be declared "null and void and of no force or effect."
3. We will sublicense under the Agreement and the ruling.

We are so tired of some of the "idiots" in this community.

It is time to end all this.

So what did really happen?

1. DENIED!!
2. No chance of getting GRANTED by any judge after this descision.
3. Not a chance in hell...

In a sane world, yes. However, none of the technical details of DE (notably, the licensing between AI and Tao) came out in the judgement, so the other - and more likely - option is that Genesi will continue to hammer on AI for full performance, finding flaw with anything and everything delivered, in an attempt to wear down AI's coffers while continuing to deplete their own.

(Alternatively, this once again leaves Eyetech as the only party to take direct harm from a port on Pegasos, so it's entirely possible KMOS -- and this newly 'free to profit' AI -- will deal, leaving Genesi free to look for new ways to gain the upper hand... Putting Buck in something like Jerry Sanders' old seat if both camps somehow manage to come out 'successful' ... or Dick Dastardly's, if the obsession with gentlemen's contests keeps the whole scene from pulling out of its nosedive.)

I agree, I always thought the case was ridiculous based on the fact that Amiga DE is nothing without Intent. So Genesi get the DE woopidee doo, you have a bunch of libraries that do nothing unless you get Intent ported, I sure hope Genesi has not pissed off TAO or DE might never work on their systems.

> As a sign of goodwill Amiga Inc could also include copies of some

As an even better sign of goodwill, Amiga could convince TAO to do a port to a version PPC Linux that runs on Pegasos and all would be well. Since Intent already runs on x86 Linux, the port should not be that difficult or time consuming. Since the ruling only specifies Pegasos and does not specify MorphOS, this should satisfy the Judges ruling with the least amount of work. Considering BBRV has stated numerous times that MorphOS is NOT the OS of the Pegasos, just an OS that comes with it and has stated the Pegasos is about many Operating Systems running on the box, it would not be out of line to simply port Intent to PPC Linux to satisfy the ruling.

Something about judges I really like: they cut through the bullshit.

So now Amiga Inc. has to provide Genesi with all the software and documentation necessary to get DE running on Pegasos.

Question:

Let's pretend Amiga Inc. and their DE are successful endeavors (I said PRETEND!) and Genesi were a regular business partner. They have this deal to put DE on Pegasos. Would Genesi provide Amiga a Pegasos board and let the Amiga developers have at it, or would Amiga give them the software and consult them on the port?

It seems to me that Amiga Inc. has never really been in a position to determine what hardware DE can use. New hardware ports of intent would require Tao's involvement. How can Amiga provide the tools necessary to port DE to the Pegasos hardware (and running on what OS? Linux? or "native", which I don't think intent can do on a desktop device) when that would require Tao, who are not named as defendants?

Unless bbrv drops the matter of getting DE on Pegasos, which he probably won't, he'll most likely say that he needs Tao's source.

Will the judge have to resolve that issue, or will Amiga just have to provide what they made themselves (which wouldn't be enough to get DE running on Pegasos), or will Genesi have to pay Tao anyway just to port intent to the Pegasos hardware?

I think what happens next is Amiga will send bbrv a UPS of CD-burns and stacks of photocopied notes and any manuals they still have onhand. I'm sure Rich got some of it at auction. Hey Rich, how do I port DE to Pegasos? I think it's written on a stack of napkins Billy kept by his desk for when he was feeling frisky. Let me know. The future of computing is hinged on the outcome. Anyhoo, enough being silly. Amiga sends a bundle of disks and papers, bbrv goes back to judge saying that it's not enough to port DE to Pegasos, then Amiga restates they don't have right to distribute intent, and Judge L. makes the big Final Decision that should bring this exciting chapter of the Amiga saga to a close.

Let's not forget that the judge has to consider the latest Amiga Inc court submissions.

The ones that have the entire contract in. That shows that whilst Thendic can claim under 5.2, part (ii) for the source code to the product (limited by Amiga Inc's contract with Tao), this can only occur if Thendic had supplied Amiga Inc with the hardware and specifications of the hardware to do a port (5.1).

As some of the other submissions by Amiga Inc show that no hardware or specifications were delivered, and furthermore that the claims that bbrv made to having attempted to deliver these products were untrue, and also that Amiga Inc couldn't even contact Thendic by mail as they don't exist at their current address ...

... buy more popcorn!

Regardless, Amiga Inc. could create a port of AmigaDE to PowerPC Linux (I'm sure that Tao must have a PowerPC port in progress, especially as Amiga Inc were talking about it running on AmigaOS4.2) and that would fulfil the contract. If Genesi can be assumed to meet the definition of "Thendic" as defined in the contract.

Latest AmigaDE versions have so far been available only to WindowsCE platforms (and perhaps in some x86 SDK).

Now Amiga Inc needs to bring Linux version of the content player up-to-date and then integrate the PPC core of the intent & adapt the rest for the big endian linux host.

Also, when LinuxPPC version is ready for peg, then it is only a small job to bring it to A1 (DMA disabled, perhaps).

Also, remember the Linux requirements. From Amiga Anywhere's site:

"IMPORTANT NOTE: The AmigaDE Player for Linux is supported only on Red Hat Linux 6.2 and Debian Linux 2.2 (potato) distributions. Later versions of Red Hat Linux (7.x)and other Linux distributions are NOT currently supported."

But just because it works on 2 (old) distros for x86, doesn't mean it's a cakewalk to get it to work on a LinuxPPC distro. Unless Tao was making a PPC port of intent for some other partner, chances are one doesn't exist. Amiga, I'm guessing, had neither the money or the inclination to worry about DE for PPC, when they were already struggling to get the Zaurus, WinCE or phone products off the ground. With limited resources, lower priorities get the boot.

So, I think the result is amiga can't give Genesi what it doesn't own, but if the judge isn't satisfied with that, what can he do other than penalize Amiga, which they wouldn't be able to pay anyway?

That was done a year ago when the case just started. Only allowed those access who sent a valid e-mail address and a postal mailing address

As I recall, the password was then disseminated to one or more /persona non grata/, hence the IP-blocking.

Who'd a thunk people would behave so badly, eh?

See, graham_nli, every solution is really just a problem in disguise...

Replying to own message, as I've read bbrv's comments on MorphZone. I now understand what bbrv's goal is:

From bbrv's message:

"It is fair to say that bplan were the ones that came up with the Zico spec before the show in Australia in 2000, but they never get credit for that either. No problem these things happen sometimes and we decided to take our own direction, but later, when you had Bill McEwen ranting about MorphOS being illegal, etc., etc. We felt like we did what we had to do to end the ranting and bogus public statements.

In the meanwhile, we had a number of conversations with Francis Charig (then and now). We will have an Intent ADK for the Pegasos. It won't be called AmigaDE. It will be called Tao's Intent."

Actually sammyface had access and then accused me of "altering" files - then played his sammyface logic that he never said the files were altered and his word games.

I cut his access after him having acess for MANY months.
