I wonder why Amiga OS 3.2 hasn't been added to the litigation? I assume once 3.1.4 is won by Cloanto that's precedence to get 3.2 from Hyperion as well? |
I was wondering the same thing, but I guess it isn't surprising, since the court did not uphold Cloanto's request for an injunction to stop sales of AmigaOS3.1.4, until after the court case was concluded. I don't understand why the court continues to allow Hyperion to sell OS3.1.4, during the court case, as Hyperion will never pay back the royalties/profits from selling OS3.1.4, when they lose this case and are forced to stop all AmigaOS3.x development.
@Olaf,
I don't see it as a bad thing if Hyperion loses this court case and all rights to developing AmigaOS4, and anything else to do with AmigaOS3 or earlier versions, as I have no doubt that someone else, be it Cloanto, A-Eon, or another company, will resume AmigaOS development in the future, and most probably do a much better job of it than Hyperion has ever done. If Hyperion some how miraculously wins this case, or a settlement allows Hyperion to stay in the business of developing AmigaOS4 (and god forbid AmigaOS3.x), then I'll be selling my X1000 and giving up on anything to do with AmigaOS4. I can always continue to enjoy AmigaOS3.x and earlier versions via emulation, FPGA, or my remaining original Amiga hardware, without any need to ever deal with Hyperion again. I'll certainly never buy anything from them, as I consider that a crime against the Amiga community, if I support Hyperion in any way._________________
