I want to nominate Bill MC to the worst imitator of BBRV. A snippet from the nomination: "Although he has shown the same lack of ethics [as BBRV] it was carried out with ten times less business intelligence."

Living in this Amiga world makes one become sarcastic...

Have no clue why you would say that.  This is a slam dunk for AI.  They paid they 25K to Hyperion (plus an additional 15K+), they requested the source code after paying for it.  They have now severed the contract per the contract terms, and Hyperion has done everything that AI has said they did.  Whats Hyperions response going to be.  They got paid, so they cant use that one.  Its not AIs fault that Benji said they'd sell the OS for 25K and signed the contract to that effect.   Hyperion and the Friedens are in big trouble over this and the best they can hope for is just losing the OS.

Of course you get a one-sided view with the declaration.
It's not Amiga Inc. Delaware that paid Hyperion. The most important piece is missing from the declaration and that is the 2001 agreement with which all started. I think this agreement was made between Amiga Washington or Itec and Hyperion. Rumors have it that in that contract there was a clause that transferred all rights to Hyperion if Amiga Washington would go bankrupt or would be bought.
So let's at least wait for the Hyperion reply.

This clearly shows KMOS and Hyperion contract (it also states Laws of California will govern the contract) so however the old contract read, Hyperion went on with a new one, with KMOS.

Yes, about being able to adapt OS4 for an arctic demo. I would like to see the original contract. Why isn't it included in the filing, it certainly is related to the case.
