              Regarding so-called "AmithlonXL"
              ================================

* I have absolutely no knowledge of this "product" beyond that which is
  publicly available on Amiga news sites.

* I am not in any way involved with this "product".

* At the current time, it is unclear (to me at least) whether this is
  supposed to be an add-on for existing Amithlon users (akin to the
  Elbox "Multimedia CD", simply offering a collection of new drivers),
  or whether it is meant to be something including emulator executable
  and ROM files.

* If it is just a collection of drivers, I have no problem with it.
  About bloody time, I'd say.

* If, however, someone is planning to distribute my IP (as contained in the
  emulator executable), I'd strongly advise to reconsider, as neither
  Harald Frank nor Haage&Partner have any license to do so. Furthermore,
  to the best of my knowledge, neither of those parties have a license
  from Amiga Inc for the distribution of kickstart images. 

* The announcements on www.amiga-news.de and www.ann.lu also talked about
  the demo machine being equipped with a Dual Head Matrox card. I sincerely
  hope that this is not an indication that my multi-head capable
  gfx driver for Amithlon is considered or presented as part of
  "AmithlonXL", as the license attached to that driver quite clearly
  prohibits it.

* Let me also reiterate that of the contents of the amithlon_contrib*
  packages released by me, ONLY the parts under the GPL are available
  for inclusion with any Harald Frank or H&P product, and that inclusion
  of those parts would require the strict adherence to the licensing
  terms of the GPL.
  
* Obviously, I won't be supporting an "AmithlonXL" which violates my
  intellectual property rights in any way. This would certainly include making
  sure that the proprietary parts of any further contrib packages I release 
  for the users of the original Amithlon would not work with such an
  "AmithlonXL". Personally, I despise crap like that, but what can I do?

* I would finally like to ask everyone to recognize that at the current
  time, to the best of my knowledge "AmithlonXL" is purely a Harald
  Frank idea --- I have yet to see a single word about it from Haage&Partner.
  So please don't abuse H&P over something they, for all I know, might not 
  even know about.
