Well, Amiga Inc. would only be able to terminate the contract if the court would agree that Hyperion are violating the terms of it. And then again, given that Hyperion would have chosen to comply, why would they want to terminate the contract in the first place?

Furthermore, Amiga Inc. are not interested in acquiring the code just to give it to some other software developers. On the contrary, from what can be told by the filings in the court case by Hyperion as well as Amiga Inc., they seem to want to negotiate a deal with the current AmigaOS4 contractors for continued development. The only one loosing out here would be Hyperion rather than the actual developers of AmigaOS4.

And why would Hyperion be owed money raised by Amiga Inc.? The contract gave Hyperion the right to make money from selling the product they make, that's the deal they agreed to. Hyperion themselves has never done anything but proclaiming Amiga Inc.'s rights to the AmigaOS IP in all public communications so what kind of hipocracy wouldn't it be to now demand compensation from Amiga Inc. for doing the very same thing?

And to claim that they wouldn't know about Amiga's financial situation at that time is just pure BS considering that they were standing by Amiga Inc.'s side and took part in the very court case that they submitted as evidence of Amiga Inc.'s insolvency.

And BTW, you seem to forget about the time Hyperion asked Amiga Inc. for a pre-payment for their work on AmigaOS4. At that time, Hyperion was the insolvent ones and Amiga Inc. helped them out. This is not denied by Hyperion. Instead, they are just arguing about the amount, admitting that they did get money. How genuinly wicked wouldn't it be to now exploit Amiga Inc.'s past financial problems to take their assets? Not very grateful, I'd say...
