@terminills

So basically you really don't have any facts to back that up. You're just emotionally using it to support your arguement.

The fact is AmigaOS has been under more or less continual development since 1994. It says it all really... no further citation required.

Quote:
Surely, the very branding of AROS as 'Amiga-like' means that its own developers consider it to be 'Substantially Similar' to The Software, that is, Amiga OS 3.1.


I know, but the developers will not decide whether it is "substantially similar", the court would.

Being -like something doesn't make you substantially similar. ReactOS has a goal of being NT-like... is it substantially similar? In execution or in code? What is the definition of substantially similar? IMHO, that term could be interpreted in any number of ways and make any court case very unlikely in this situation.
