…and both their own respective copyrights in turn relies on the original Commodore copyrights.
Sure, but that is not a problem for Hyperion while they have a practically unlimited perpetual worldwide license for AmigaOS 3.1.
TRIPOS Quote:
A removal of Hyperion from the equation would mean a final removal of any “legal mess”. Cloanto did that once before to solve the H&P 3.9 mess by circumvent them and releasing “Workbench 3.X”…
I'm not so sure a removal of Hyperion will solve all the Amiga legal problems. Hyperion may own AmigaOS software components (copyrights) built on top of AmigaOS 3.1 like H&P did with AmigaOS 3.9 components. For example, the new Reaction was purchased by Hyperion and integrated in AmigaOS 3.2. It would be possible to go back to an earlier AmigaOS base as Hyperion and Cloanto did but it could be another disappointing 2 steps forward 1 step back situation. Cloanto did not own all the Amiga Inc. IP at the time of their minor AmigaOS update so they may be able to do a more extensive AmigaOS update now. There are also potential Amiga legal disputes over AmigaStore, AmigaKit, etc. The acquiesce of the Amiga parties allowed IP squatters which need to be challenged to control the Amiga brand again.
