Amiga and Hyperion Settle Ownership of AmigaOS

Posted by kdawson on from the if-anyone-was-waiting dept.

HKcastaway writes "Amiga Inc and Hyperion Entertainment announced a settlement over ownership and licensing over AmigaOS 4.0 and future versions. Since the bankruptcy of Commodore, Amiga's history has been littered with lawsuits that have affected the development of Amiga hardware and software. Having a lawsuit-free OS probably will help a great deal to the continuity and recovery of the Amiga heritage. Hyperion also provides AmigaOS SDKs for developers.'

    is the Amiga platform even relevant any more? The hardware and OS were revolutionary in 1989

    Thats 20 years after Unix was released, right ?

    There was a time when Windows was a niche product, after all (I was there, I remember), and will be again some day.
