Tedd Gallion, speaking on behalf of a group called the DiscreetFX partners, has sent out a letter to the Amiga community with quite an interesting topic: to buy out the AmigaOS4 and the Amiga brand from Amiga, Inc. The letter states that DiscreetFX and its partners have contacted Amiga, Inc., but that the company asked a completely insane amount of money. DiscreetFX and its partners now ask the community to contact Amiga, Inc., and urge them to sell the Amiga OS and its brand to DiscreetFX for a fair price. "Urge Amiga Inc. sell to us for a fair price. We will end the lawsuit, we will end the fighting., we will end the madness. If we were in charge Amiga OS 4.0 would be available today on SAM."

Put all your Amiga stuff in a closet, stop visiting sites related to Amiga (except AROS), and forget about it. In so doing you utterly take away any power these foolish "Inc"s have. If you want to save Amiga, you have to kill her first! Think about it. As long as Amiga, Inc. has enough poor souls to feed on, it will always hold the Amiga technology captive. So give up, let Amiga Inc. fold. And then, maybe one day, Amiga can return to us.
Unfortunately, I have my doubts that most of you (you know who you are) are smart enough to do this.
In any case, if DiscreetFX doesn't plan to open source the OS, who cares anyway? It boggles my mind, but most Amiga-die hards just don't seem to get the whole open-source thing. Why is that?
