Everyone should have known that 3.1.4 broke the agreement and was illegal. Hyperion had no right under the Settlement Agreement to develop that. They had rights to 3.1 source code in order to have a base on which to start development on OS 4 only. Hyperion's part of the agreement was only for development of OS4 and carried no rights to develop Amiga OS 3
After reading the settlement agreement, it was clear that Hyperion had access to the 3.1 source code for development/whatever, but it occurred to me (maybe I'm late to the party) that perhaps the contention was that Hyperion had no right to sell such (distinct) work/product as Amiga OS (anything) - that license extended only to "The OS developed by Hyperion" (i.e. what is called Amiga OS 4).
Honestly, I can't be bothered to read the settlement document again right now, so I'm asking a question, not even stating an opinion.
EDIT:
After perusing the link (thanks), I see that is, essentially, the case.
I for one would still like to see a gentleman's agreement, but it would be shortsighted to anticipate one - (way) too much water under the bridge...
