we all know it can be pretty easy to hide behind some law postulating you have the right lawyers.

Nothing that I was disputing.

On the contrary they've lost credibility

Maybe, but to who ? You think we matter to them anyway ? We don't.

How about the credibility to their investors, who, apparently, want something else then us. A Inc wants OS4 back so they can keep the investors happy who have different plans for Amiga (yes, guess work but it seems very likely)

wasn't there a poll some years back asking for whom would group together to file a charge against them? I for my self have not the time nor the money to pay an attorney to have legal action against some outlandish firm to get a refund for the 100Eur I paid -gullibly and lightheaded.

Either because nobody who paid cared, except the few who posted on forums.. At any rate, if 1000 people had joined the costs might have been a bit more favourable, but I admit I don't know what it would have cost..

But if it's not worth it, then stop complaining as it's not a very productive thing to do.

The community should realize we are small fish, not worth the commercial effort. Even Hyperion targets the OS at a different direction then home use, we just benefit that they need a desktop OS and have some nice developers with a passion for the OS.

Hi Jamie,

Stick with option #1. With all the hard work you have put into AVD, you deserve some reward for your efforts. Go for option 2 if you must, but I would avoid option #3. As much as the Amiga needs a system like AVD, I don't think you will ever see anything in return for releasing it open source. (You'd get a big 'Thank You' from the community, but that's about it.)

Just my $0.02
