Wow, what a document, do any of the parties besides Amiga get to use the Amiga name?  Am I correct in assuming that all parties have the right to distribute Classic Amiga OS without royalties?

This document contadicts Steve Solie.  Hyperion only own OS4.1.

They don`t own 3.1 and previous versions.

Steven Solie's announcement was not anything finalized.  It was a guestimated synopsis of what you finally read for official last words.

Whoever owns 3.X should just do the right thing here finally and release it as open source. Its ridiculous that greedy people have clung on to it this long and not just given it back to the community that has supported the operating system since its birth.
 
Silly Billy, go get a real job, give up and let us have at least that much.

3.x belongs to Amiga Inc, although they seem to be the only party that can't actually sell it!  Come on, Amiga Inc, you can't make money off of it, you own the code, open source it.  It would make up for a large amount of the bad things you did....
