If you actually believe that, then you havent read all the documents. Acube was in negotiations with Amiga until after Hyperion lost the license with AI. Now Hyperion signs an illegal contract with Acube and obviously Acube doesnt have anything to do with AI. Thats poaching in my book.

acube went to ainc for a license for aos4. acube dropped the bomb that they had a third party rig aos up for macmini. ainc stopped negotiating(i assume since there is no documentation stating the opposite.)

Ainc cancelled the deal because they didnt have an OS, didnt have source code, and they had paid alot of money for it. They find out that Acube is being allowed to port to the MacMini and possibly Sam, while they still dont have the source code, etc so they can do ports to there hardware or sell OS 4 to there customers.

i think somewhere along in here ainc decided to pull the plug on the aos4 license. this i think was based (at least in part) on the bomb dropped by acube. hyperion was preparing release of the classic aos4 hyperion needed a distributor so they asked acube to do it (eyetech was the distributer before)

AI had issued the 30 day count down to no license in November 2006, the license was over, then Hyperion finished the OS, then announced they were going to ship a classic version, then announced the Acube deal all after having the license deal cancelled. I know you want this to be a big misunderstanding. I've been writing about this for years, its been coming for years, and its likely that by the time its over Hyperion will be very sorry they didnt send CDs to AI.
