sorry to go off on a tangent here, but i have a question and feel you can honestly answer it.
refering to ssolies post before, *if* amiga.inc win the court case, im presuming that hyperion would then not be able to make any money from OS4 at all (contract cancelled and all that) so what would happen to the devs who are expecting money for work done? would they be forced to sue Hyperion (if it is still existing) as only way to get money from their work? |
I think the $2M offer was basically to pay off everyone and get the OS mostly back in house, through ownership and shared ownership of the source code. Hyperion would probably cease to exist and some of the current developers would continue to work on the OS under new AI contracts and some may give up on the Amiga. AI cant get the source code unless the developers get paid and in some cases cant distribute for longer then 30-60 days without paying them, so I think AI winning means the developers get paid, I just think AI will grind up Hyperion to make them pay as much of the money owed to the developers as possible, and then they will have to foot the bill for the rest if they want to get the rights contracted to Hyperion.
