...with the severe restriction that even if a developer has "all sources" on his hard drive, he can only "do anything" with his very own sources, not those of other developers just because the sources happened to be integrated into the same commercial product. Thus, Cloanto cannot get the sources of AmigaOS 4.x or 3.1.4 from one hand.

Biggest? Or even only? ;-)

Do they have more "pieces of the scattered post-Commodore Amiga platform" than Escom, Gateway or Amiga Inc. (whatever incarnation) had between "almost two and a half decades" ago and 2011 (when Amiga Inc. started to sell the "pieces" to Cloanto)? If yes, what are those "pieces" the others didn't have? Mind you, Escom had the Commodore trademark in addition.
