Who exactly owns Amiga now?
I remember Commodore went bankrupt in 1994, then it was bought by Escom, then Gateway, then someone called Fleecy Moss bought it...
But who owns Amiga now? Or rather, who owns which parts of it? |

There is still a company called Amiga, Inc who I think 'own' Amiga, technically, but they don't seem to do anything other than licence the IP to other companies (including the Kickstart ROMs and Workbench files to Cloanto).
See www.amiga.com (BTW I've just seen on that website they've licenced Amiga games for the Blackberry Playbook which seems an... odd choice of platform. I'm surprised they haven't done anything for iOS or Android devices). |

Aside from that, I'd be interested in knowing what emulator they're "borrowing" this time around. The virtual button layout isn't any that I recognise. |
