There is no "rights-holder" for 3.9. H&P used to be be the rights holder, but their license from AInc was revoked ages ago (and would have expired by now anyway). Now Cloanto and Hyperion have rights to AmigaOS <=3.1, H&P owns the documentation, the new installer and a bunch of prefs programs (re)written for 3.9 while all other improvements and additions are owned by the external authors who wrote them.
This is my understanding of this mess too. I just realized the CD that had my BB collection on it has vanished. Great timing.
Does anyone remember Franko? he used to assert that he own the rights to the OS. Maybe he wasn't kidding......
Where is he these days.
