Commodore Amiga licensing deals clear path for FPGA remake
New licensing agreements between Commodore International, Amiga Corporation and Hyperion resolve long‑standing intellectual‑property disputes and establish a framework for the use of Amiga trademarks, software and documentation. The agreements recognize Commodore’s ownership of the "Commodore" and "C=" trademarks and grant Amiga Corporation the right to license CBM 8‑bit software and related materials to Commodore for future products. A statement from Amiga Corporation notes that the deal "removes barriers to the resurrected microcomputer maker creating a modern version of the hardware". With the legal hurdles cleared, developers can now pursue an FPGA‑based recreation of the classic Amiga systems, such as the A1200, without risking infringement.
