No actually on April 23, 2003, AI(W) sold the rights to the classic OS to Itec. They kept the trademarks and other items. It wasnt illegal for them to do this since Itec was a first secured creditor, they were definitely paid for it, the question is did the other parties agree to the transfer of the contract. AI(W) definitely did because they are ones that sold it to Itec, Hyperion did (though they protest that they didnt) because on April 24, 2003 the entered into a contract with Itec to sell the OS to them for $25K per the 2001 contract, that would have only been legal for them to do if the contract had been transferred. So the only one we dont know about is Eyetech, so unless Eyetech comes forward and shows good reason that they did not want the transfer to Itec, and oppose it, this should be a non-issue. In addition, since Alan made comments that he was happy that KMOS was now owning Amiga, arguing that he opposed the transfer that led to that event, is liable to be hard to prove. In addition in Feb 2004 we have Ben Hermans letter to Kouri telling him he needs his permission (ie from Itec) to talk to KMOS because Itec is the owner of the 2001 contract.
