I get what is being said, but some like Perifractic owning Commodore gives me more hope. I just hope he exercises good judgement on who and what can use the trademark.

I dunno. I think commercial value for Commodore is what you make of it.

Well I don't give a toss about the crowd proposing to buy it, but I also don't care much about who buys the name rights to a dead microcomputer brand from 40 years ago. It's not going to bring back the 1980s, it's not going to bring back Jack Tramiel, and arguably we are better off without both. History is indelible, which is one of the great things about it. What useful things is "Commodore" going to do in 2025? Sell licensing rights for stickers, evidently. What else-- perhaps go after anyone who doesn't pay them for using the IP? If not, why else own the IP? Copyright strikes for having a chickenhead logo on your website? $0.05 every time you type C= ? Rights must be enforced to remain legitimate, right? Suddenly this scenario sounds less like getting the band back together and more like rent-seeking behavior and possibly creating profits for lawyers. I think we could do with less of both. But that's just, like, my opinion, man.
