Andrew,
Nope….if IBM owned the Amiga…there would be no clones.
The IBM is cloned because there's absolutely nothing special about
it. It's plain jane off the shelf hardware, nothing proprietary at all.
The Amiga on the other hand, has several proprietary components,
thus clone makers can't simply go out and buy off the shelf parts.
Now yes, someone could attempt to reverse engineer the Amiga chip
sets and other proprietary components…but they'd be slapped with a
lawsuit in a heartbeat.
