Hey friend, excuse me for what I will say if it offends you, but I think that for your and ARES One project, after of fight several years, Commodore USA going to steal your work and efforts to make AROS is a serious and stable operating system, and now to climb on the bandwagon of nostalgia to make money.
I'm sorry, but this is pure kaka
Firstly, AROS license was designed exactly with this in mind. They knew and hoped this could happen.
Secondly, I sincerely doubt that much of the new x86 Amiga or Commodore users will be using AROS. And why should they when there's UAE to do the exactly same thing. In my mind, Commodore decided on this move simply to ease the transition to x86 and the fact that they do not make what today is considered a official AmigaOS. I know that mr. Nigro is a big fan od AROS, but I do not see it working. Perhaps... perhaps if they make enough profit and decide to do their own OS based on AROS, but again, being OS 3.1 compatible is not something that would attract new users away from Mac, Linux or Win OS these days.
So, even if it is officially supported, I do not expect Commodore attracting that much users with it. So no stealing thunder then.
And Commodore has only rights on AIO systems which means iMica and AresOne are free to work on other formats.

Struggled to be sure exactly what you meant, but if Commodore USA manage to make a huge success of this and Aros is developed to be as good if not better than OS4 and MorphOS then I will be really happy because I am also hoping to launch iMica development software and need lots of users out there
I never wanted to make and sell hardware, to many hassles, I just wanted to give people a base Atom platform for low cost experience of an Amiga like OS. After all there are more iMica's out there built by users than I have sold, so the plan is working.

It has been said already: AROS license permits anyone to commercially release a product using AROS. How are they stealing clusteruk's work? Yes, it's tough that this would present competition to Imica and Ares, but such are the ways of the free market.
