Another criticizm I've seen leveled here is, if you don't have enough to spend on a test motherboard you don't have enough money to spend on manufacturing the board itself

That particular purpose could be use for gauging real interest and spreading the risk across the community. Atm, a competitive PPC clone hardware is at its infancy compared to X86 laptop/desktop/server world.

I'd doubt that at this juncture Amiga, Inc. would give full commitment, but I could be wrong. However, my take is that Amiga, Inc. would need to be approached early on and give a knod to looking at the G5 solution once running to make a determination.

That is incorrect.

Amiga Inc. do not own and sell AmigaOS.

KMOS owns the AmigaOS IP.

Hyperion owns OS4 sourcecode which KMOS (originally Amiga inc.) has the option to buy back after completion.

KMOS has licencing and contractual agreements with Hyperion and Eyetech regarding AmigaOne/AmigaOS 4.x which were transfered from Amiga Inc.

KMOS owns Amiga Inc.

DigitalDisaster would need to talk to Hyperion and KMOS. Amiga Inc. wouldn't factor into it.
