Well, with Hyperion refusing to honor their part of the contract there is hardly any money to made for AInc in OS4 on MacMini.

Mind, I doubt things would be much different if everything was o.k. between AInc and Hyperion, but atm their both big show-stopper when it comes to new HW.

6. Deny that you have ever announced it

No need to start another lawsuit-thread, but ...

AInc thinks they have bought OS4 back in 2003, making every copy sold by Hyperion afterwards illegal.

Hyperion thinks that they now have a full/unlimited licence not just to the OS but also to all trademarks, meaning they don't have to pay royalities anymore (and neither would potential HW-partners).

If I were McBill I wouldn't even consider giving out licence until all that is cleared up.

The "classic" is in the contract so Hyperion can still claim they are acting within it.

Releasing it for HW not listed in the contract would be the biggest favour Hyperion could do to AInc atm....
