It's a interesting conundrum.

A "software architecture" as defined in the settlement is not protectable by copyright other than as embodied in documentation (e.g. the documentation / specification can be copyrighted) or in an actual program (in which case that embodiment of the architecture - the specific software - will be protected, but not the architecture itself).

You can't copyright an idea, thankfully.

And copyright protection of the actual software requires the code to be very similar in implementation.

But note that the line you quoted does not say anything about copyrighted by whom. It would certainly seem to apply to AROS, but that does not in any way imply that AROS is infringing.
....

Did you read page 28's part b context?

.... For the avoidance of doubt with respect to the exclusive nature of the license granted to Hyperion for the Software...
