This is what I read from the responses.
1. Amiga Inc. and Hyperion are fighting each other over the rights to AmigaOS4.
2. Amiga Inc. has already executed their buy-back option and paid Hyperion, but Hyperion is unhappy with the amount they got, so they are fighting to keep AmigaOS4, or get more money.
3. I am guessing that AmigaOS5 might be based on AmigaOS4, as it is conceivable that Amiga Inc. had access to an early version when they executed the buy-back option and paid Hyperion to help bail them out a little.
4. It is not surprising that we don't have any AmigaOS4 hardware at this time with the requirement that the company must have an annual gross (or is it net) income in excess of $500,000 before they can even be considered as qualifying for a license. The market for AmigaOS4 and its hardware is so tiny, most companies that are large enough to meet that requirement are not interested because the return on investment is likely to be negative for years and may never turn a profit if things don't change in Amigaland.
