@WolfToTheMoon

I recall Hyperion's Ben Hermans claiming MorphOS is illegal(1)

1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperion_Entertainment

"Hermans had courted controversy by repeatedly claiming that MorphOS, an AmigaOS-like competitor, was illegal,"

Yeah, but remember, for some people in Hyperion, "AROS is probably illegal"


Dropping in wiki spam doesn't exactly explain much. This does:

Quote:
AROS: Renaming project
According to Aaron Digulla, initiator of the open source code operating system AROS, the name "Amiga" will be deleted from the project name because of the legal steps of Amiga Inc. against Hyperion.
