`25.Dec.2018`	Amiga-News wishes Merry Christmas - for the 20th time Already for the 20th time the editorial staff of amiga-news.de wishes Merry Christmas to their readers - which probably nobody had guessed. But despite all disappointments and numerous prophecies of doom the Amiga survived another year in its niche - with new products, meetings and again about 800 Aminet uploads and almost 700 news items on amiga-news.de. We wish you a wonderful and peaceful time which you could use for some Amiga projects or trying to play through Turrican - once again! P.S.: During the next days we are going to celebrate our anniversary with a separate news item and a little competition. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 25.

`23.Dec.2018` iComp (website)	Individual Computers confirms ownership of Picasso96 software Press release: 22.12.2018 - After making the money transfer in december 2016 and signing the software acquisition agreement on January 30th, 2017, we have bought the P96 RTG software from Tobias Abt and Alexander Kneer. A prior license agreement with Hyperion entertainment for use of P96 in OS4.1 is part of the agreement, and will of course be continued under ownership of iComp. There is no other license agreement with any other party besides this. In the following months, we have cleaned up the source code and made small improvements to the software. Over the course of development of OS 3.1.4, further improvements have been made, which we are now offering as a download product. Please log in to your member account to also view download products in the shop. While the authors Tobias Abt and Alexander Kneer have only given access to the API for graphics cards to paying customers after signing a non-disclosure agreement, we are now documenting the API for free for anyone in our Wiki. We'd like to support community projects like the VA2000 graphics card with this, but also take other drivers out of a legal grey zone that resulted from the previous licensing model that Abt and Kneer have chosen. By publishing the hardware manufacturer's API, we are delivering on a promise that we've made even before purchasing this software package. Unfortunately, there is a market actor that claims to have a perpetual license for P96, without having any written proof for this claim. We were even summoned to not advertise what the agreement clearly says: iComp GmbH is the only legal source for a P96 software registration. We believe that a claim of a software product or bundle containing a "registered version" of P96 is false advertising. The legal status of the shareware archive of P96, which has been available on Aminet for years is not changed: It stays legal to distribute this archive free of charge. This download product is the first to use a new pricing model in our shop system: "Pay what you want". As opposed to other fields where this model is used (for example in selected restaurants), we have set a lowest price, as otherwise the administrative cost would be higher than the chosen price. We are hoping for the fairness of Amiga users to register each installation of P96. This is targeting especially the users of emulators, PCI bus boards and new FPGA graphics cards, which would be almost useless without P96. Hint of the editors: "Market actor" probably refers to Cloanto (amiga-news.de reported). The abbreviated expression of Hyperion's products AmigaOS 3.1.4 and AmigaOS 4.1 in the press release we have also used in our news item. (snx) (Translation: dr) [News message: 23.
