I just saw this news bit show up today:

"Tulip Computers NV, which owns the Commodore brand name, plans to relaunch the brand to take advantage in an upsurge of interest in the obsolete Commodore 64 (C64) computer and its 1980s-era games, the company said in a statement Friday."

This seems to generally be a good thing, except there is one line in the press release that may be disturbing:

"Unauthorized use of the Commodore name by other organizations will be stopped, Tulip said in the statement."
