-
- Well, that sounds more like something that should be governed by the
- agreement that NewTek and CBM signed. Note that the motherboard clearly
- says Amiga or CBM on it and that only the exterior has the "Toaster" label
- on it. It's likely that NewTek asked for and got permission to do that.

-
- You do... unless a specific written agreement supercedes that. Copyrights
- must be acknowledged on products mentioned in print, for example, but not
- necessarily in a contract. In this case, NewTek and CBM appear to be in
- consent about what gets mentioned and what doesn't. Obviously, they've had
- a falling out of some kind but it would take a court to really resolve the
- issue or perhaps even to state it clearly. Lotta rumors flying around this
- topic. Those who really know probably can't say much.
