I think co-operation in sensible naming, distribution and technology sharing would be nice.
It would be nice, but I do not think mr. Altman is in this business to lose money. X1000 will be bought by several hundred, maybe thousand people.
Commodore PC64 could sell 10 000+ units easily per markets like UK, USA and Germany alone. That's just PC64...
Hyperion have nothing to bring on the table worth buying, if not only for the name Amiga OS. But since they cannot run Amiga OS anyway on x86, there's really no sense to go for that. A rewrite to x86 is negated by the existence of AROS... that is, it would be much cheaper and faster for Commodore to hire some devs to work on that.
And frankly, based on their previous record, I would want to stay away from hyperion as far as I can.

- Commodore Amiga x1000 (from A-Eon) could be sold by C= USA.
And why do you think I would prefer to buy an AmigaOne X1000 from Commodore over buying it from AmigaKit? What would be the advantage for me as customer?

As I unsderstood the settlement agreement they already have a worldwide, excusive and perpetual right to develop and market OS5? What would be the commercial advantage for them to share this exclusive right with other companies?

I'm fine with the name as it is...

Up to now I have not heard that Hyperion had plans for an AmigaOS 5...
