That's licensed by Amiga, so it can include the ROMS, but it's not sold
by Amiga as an Amiga product. Amithlon will be sold by Amiga as "Amiga
OS for X86" or words to that effect.

Or the statement on the web site, which contradicts neither.

I wish Amiga would write their releases before announcements are made,
and put them on the web site immediately after. That way people could
bitch and whine about black and white statements, instead of bitching
and whining about what they thought they heard said on a crackly MP3.

Cheers
