Not really. All they have to do is comply with Amiga Inc.'s demands for access to the AmigaOS4 source code to the extent they are able to give it to them. If they just do that, they will be able to keep the rights they have today by the license agreement and go on marketing and selling AmigaOS4 as before. I really don't see why this is such a problem for Hyperion in the first place. They knew they would have to give the sources to Amiga Inc. in case Amiga demanded it from the very beginning when they signed the agreement.
Marketing and selling to a non-existent AmigaOne market as there is no new AmigaOne hardware and never will be? Thats no market at all and hence zero profit. Besides Amiga already claims some AmigaOnes were not even AmigaOnes, narrowing what they could deal with even further.
Well, the "Target Hardware" as specified by the contract is what they have agreed to develop for. AFAIK, they still haven't released AmigaOS4 for the CyberstormPPC boards. Perhaps they should add support for what they have a contractual obligation to develop AmigaOS4 for before they request more hardware options, don't you agree?

Amiga Delaware claims they have the right to terminate any and all licensing for Hyperion and that they already have late last year.
Given that Hyperion do not comply, yes.

You talk as if Amiga Washington and Amiga Delaware are the same company which they are not.
Pushing the line of Hyperion's defense, I see... Well, this would only matter for the issue in case Hyperion's claims about Amiga Delaware not being an appropriate successor to Amiga Washington as the owner of the Amiga related intellectual properties would be true. If you want to jump to conclusions based on these *claims* (read: not verified facts), that's up to you.
For the record, I haven't made any claim that "Amiga Delaware" and "Amiga Washington" would be the same company and I fail to see how anything of what've said could possibly contribute to such conclusion. My personal reflections on Hyperion's reasons for not complying with Amiga Inc.'s demands in my previous post was not meant to imply anything about nor relate to any of these issues.
