Amiga Inc owns the AmigaOS 3.1 software, but can't distribute it except to Cloanto and a few other places that already had licensing agreements.  It can make no further licensing agreements nor can it distribute it.  

Hyperion's license from Amiga Inc is exclusive going forward, anyone who had a license in the past in not affected by the ruling, but Amiga Inc cannot grant licenses in the future to anyone without Hyperion's consent.

So basically Lotus Pacific or more likely who ever bought the pieces of Lotus Pacific from bankruptcy, have a legal and unchallengeable right to distribute Amiga OS 3.1 worldwide (and exclusively in China) for whatever that's worth.
