Here's one for the lawyers: Does a change in the product name, even as miniscule as a .1 release increment, constitute a "new" product, clear of the previous contract? Hyperion could dump the 4.0 code from December, 2006 (or even earlier) on Amiga, Inc., shutting down their argument of breach of contract, while the actual, important codebase has advanced considerably. OS4 has already been marketed with a new Amiga logo, so they're not in violation of the Escom-era, Bodoni-typeface trademark that Amiga, Inc. still owns...
Only when they could proove that no AmigaOS1.0-4.0 sources were used in the creation of 4.1 ..... and offcourse AInc (one of them) also owns the trademark "Amiga" itself.
