@Rogue

Maybe the party is just getting started...

Dear Thomas and me, please inform us of the license terms for the OS4 kernel on all Genesi platforms, including the EFIKA.

For you to know, we also plan to reinitiate support for MorphOS simultaneously.

We actually think this will help the overall Amiga market and hope you agree.

Best regards,
Raquel and Bill



How is that?

Okay, I have no clue what parts of AmigaOS belong to who now. And equally less of a clue as to who to approach about getting os4 on new hardware. I guess these are the issues that are being nutted out in court now? Seems like internally the Amiga is in strife.
EDIT: It's been suggested to me that "in the hands of attourneys" could just mean negotiating.. that it may not be in court yet. I really hope thats the case.

So AmigaOS are splitting and splitting more and more and even more who will be interested in an OS that have +40 owners and that you must get +40 licenses to use in your hardware.Already happened with say, arexx, parts maked by hage&partner and now That .AmigaOS is DEAD because is an OS maked with thousand of parts that in whatever moment can expire the licence to use them

For first time in many moons, I have to agree with bbrv: they have done what they should have done from the start, with no lawyers involved: to ask Amiga Inc for a license as Amiga Inc OS page states:

Quote:
AmigaOne Partners have the right to distribute AmigaOS 4.0 into the AmigaOne desktop computer market and into Cyberstorm PPC enabled devices.  Distribution into any other market or device requires a licensing and distribution agreement with Amiga, Inc. [...] For information on licensing, adaptation or modification of any existing Amiga Operating System, please contact,  technologylicensing@amiga.com

so I would say it's the required first step to take when you want OS4 ported to another platform.

But, as usual, I find very unprofessional attitudes in bbrv, like beating a honeycomb with a stick when you are trying to get some honey out of it. From the same page:

Quote:
In 2001,  Amiga, Inc. licensed the development of AmigaOS 4.0 to AmigaOne Partners, collectively Hyperion VOF and Eyetech Group Ltd. [...] Amiga, Inc. does not distribute or support AmigaOS 4.0.  For information on product availability, support, local dealers or resellers, please contact AmigaOne Partners through either Hyperion VOF or Eyetech Ltd.

This "Dear Thomas and me..." doens't look as funny to me, but as a very unprofessional, provocative and agressive way to approach a prospective business partner...

Saluditos,

Ferrán.

EDIT: It seems that in this topic there is talk about this issue.

Hmmm... ok, ExecSG belongs to Friedens, not to Hyperion or Amiga Inc. (btw., there has been this famous 500000 upfront - is this the price of Friedens' Exec or for complete OS4 Exec included for target hw?).

In the past Hyperion (or Frieden brothers, I'm no longer sure) have stated that if you want license, you need to contact Amiga Inc., it's not up to them. Does anyone know, if someone wants licence to run OS4 on their HW, what is the correct procedure? Is it simply 1) Contact Amiga Inc, have ok from them, 2) Contact and pay Hyperion to get the porting done and 3) contact and pay Friedens to get ExecSG for target platform? Maybe answers could clarify things a bit for possible hw producers Genesi included. Maybe someone could collect all the necessary contacts for them? We already have technologylicensing@amiga.com, but the others too...


Below are posts from this thread that made me wonder these things:

Dear Sir, please inform us of the license terms for OS4 on all Genesi platforms, including the EFIKA.

For you to know, we also plan to reinitiate support for MorphOS simultaneously.

We actually think this will help the overall Amiga market and hope you agree.

Best regards,
Raquel and Bill


Let's see what happens. We have nothing to hide. We hope it works. Go Power!

Don't want to spoil the party, but the kernel belongs to Thomas and me, and nobody asked us yet.

Does that mean I can ask for an X86 port now?

One would hope that Amiga Inc.'s licensing email address is the first step in a process that would include contacting Hyperion, learning that kernel belongs to you and Thomas, contact you, and so on until all parties involved are part of it. That's assuming they can get a response from AI, as Bill M's statement that they did indeed reply to "every" (whatever the heck those quotes are supposed to mean, they're his not mine) license inquiry has known exceptions. But if AI doesn't reply at all, it doesn't much matter who owns what for the remainder of the process. If I was bbrv, I would have left out the part about MorphOS starting up at the same time, as we all know how fond of that McEwen was back in the day...
