See, thing is this isn't really a concern, no matter how deluded AInc are, even they will be well aware that they can't touch AROS, it's a legal fact that you are allowed to reverse engineer proprietary software.

As the AROS team has no access to the AOS3.1 code,


It's even better than that.  AROS code was used in offically licenced Amiga products (OS3.9 and Amithlon/OSXL).  They would look rather silly suing a project who's code they had used themselves (though their contractors)

I'm pretty sure no one has access except those who originally made it and Hyperion, there's no risk of them falling into this legal pithole.


Er, not 100% true, it's a long story, best left in the past...  But the fact is it has nowt to do with AROS.
