If this is who I think it is (Rick B.) then yes, it is definitely legit.
He was just over at my house a week ago, to see my Amiga and talk to me about
his upcoming port of Prolog to that machine.  We used to work together several
years ago and I have a lot of confidence in his technical abilities.
So if his package interests you, don't let the marketing issues deter you.
(I have no association with him or his company other than being a longtime
personal friend).

I've cross posted to comp.sys.amiga since they may be interested to
know that a port is pending for that machine.
