| @Franko You should tell the kickstart replacement project guys they are wasting their time (and to those who donated, "you have been scammed!") . Look, there is a monstrous difference between "a guy" and a few files, compared to USE the original source code to produce something, following your reasoning, you should be able to arrange an OS based on 3.1, call it Amiga OS and since nobody can claim anything to the full extent the law requires, you will get away with it. So my advice is: stop the small fish thing you're doing, be a real man and do the above! Simply put, no one will bother as long as you keep it insignificant (let alone pointless forum ramblings). But there is a line there, cross it, and someone WILL go over the hard work of producing what they need to produce in order to stop whomever is hurting them, stop daydreaming about it.

Thought I'd made it obvious by now what my interest are in this case but if not then let me explain it very clearly so that even you can understand...
I am only interested in having the Workbench disk sets and kickstart rom images available for free download and not have to hide that fact. I no longer use the trademark name "Workbench" which is Cloanto's only legal claim instead I just rename them as WB 3.x main disk, WB Fonts disk etc...
As for others like the kickstart replacement project, well I have no interest or use for that so those guys can do what they wish and find out for themselves the answers to any questions they may have, what they do is neither my business nor concern.
I've been "crossing the line" with this for months now and no one has came forward to complain, sue or even query me on this (despite letting all relevant parties know what I have been doing) the only ones who seem bothered are the armchair lawyers who hang around the forums speculating on things they obviously have analysed properly.
The only one daydreaming here is you with you obvious attempts to try and convince me to do as you mentioned in your post but it won't work with me mate, I'm happy doing what I do and don't even consider myself a "small fry" in any of this nor am I daydreaming about anything. I'm perfectly happy making WB disk sets from 1.3 to 3.1 and all kickstart rom images free for download to anyone who wants them, that's what I do and that's all I'm interested in.
So instead of your not very good attempt at getting me to do something you want me to do, then man up and do is yourself...
PS: No one will ever step forward unless someone starts producing something that makes money, then you may see someone come forward with proof of ownership as that's the only time they will be bothered, is if they think their is money to be made and it's most likely the reason why no one has bothered me as there is no money involved and nothing for them to gain... _________________

| @Franko I don't want to convince you about doing anything actually, and if they are not bothered that much go figure how much it can bother me... Peace

Well, we can also conclude after many years it`s not considered worth of fighting (Classic versions): KS files are distributed via websites with no hustle, Haage and Partner has moved to other bussines and doesn`t even mention OS 3.5/OS 3.9 development, AmiKit is free full emulation package if you have OS 3.5/3.9 CD ... while only Cloanto provides legal KS and WB files.
And if needed, it can be purchased by Amikit (OS 3.9).
Only 4.x situation is after court hustle clean `n` clear.
And it matters mostly to Natami: but most of Classic users already have OS 3.5/OS 3.9 CD`s that could be just tweaked with some Natami drivers, and AROS (68k) is growing product that could be used by Natami.
Btw, two best current Classic websites are AmigaOS support page and Boing Bag as well as WB nostalgia
