Is Jens Schoenfeld (iComp) leaving the Amiga Scene?
Can this be true?
https://www.reddit.com/r/amiga/comme..._email_claims/ If so something needs to be done! This cannot stand! Jens is one of the great old ones. He has been designing amiga hardware since the 90s. He has 060 designs scenduled for 2019. He is a god damn jedi! What is Cloanto thinking if they are doing ANYTHING that could jepordize the business of someone like Jens. This is incredible. I hope this is simply untrue! |
Sadly, it seems to be true yes.
The last couple of pages of the Amiga Reloaded thread also cover this, with a facebook post copied to page 5 that gives a more official answer by him: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=94841&page=5 |

As for what can be done about it? I'm not sure. The only thing I can imagine that can guarantee a good result is somehow convincing Cloanto and/or Individual Computers to drop the legal proceedings (I have no idea who is suing who!). But trying such a thing has to be done respectfully or it probably will only make things worse. And there are no guarantees it'd even work. |

He's not forced out, he foolishly signed up with Hyperion, despite all the red flags waiving before his face.

better buy up those Accelerator and Scandoubler boards now fellas. They will be out of stock/collectors items this time next year

They are already redundant, so what's the point? |

That is true. Though Cloanto still thinks they have some valid licences. Icomp site update from yesterday. Quote:

There's always CyberGraphX and its AROS spin-off. P96 is getting obsolete and needs upgrades but the CyberGraphX license is maintained by the MorphOS team.

if Jens goes out, I won't ever buy anything from Cloanto, :mad

"without upgrade privileges" is the sentence. I am not sure what it really means. From Cloanto's point of view it has no sense to negotiate new deal for every Amiga Forever version. No right to use any future Picasso96 version has much bigger sense to me but anyway another feast for lawyers |
