Hi, just to let you know that a court has recently determined that AmigaOS 3.1.4 is legal to sell. The documents have been made public. That is why it is still for sale and Cloanto cannot do anything about it anymore.

Now, that said, how will the lawsuit end, we really don't know, and can only guess at best as anyone else.

Then, Cloanto will not be able to legally incorporate all the changes made in 3.1.4 as some are personal contributions and Hyperion only holds an untransferable license for them. They don't own them. So Cloanto will need to ask and negociate with each and every of the contributors involved.

Lets hope these two companies come to their senses and settle down this dispute in a more amicable manner.
