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.'

    I think you'll find that the idea of an Amiga article in 2009 was the joke.... or indeed that AmigaOS itself is.

    Its about as relevant to us or this site as a new release of the Amstrad CPC464 firmware.... or restarting production of the Zilog Z80. yesterdays technology, amply replaced.
