what a mess.

Hyperion signed a contract with AmigaInc to Port Exec to PowerPC - with minimal functionality for $25,000. This did not look a big task until Hyperion found that Exec was written in assembler.

At this stage a new contract should have been made for all the extra work needed. Its was not.

Hyperion Overextended themselves and done more work on the project that was requested.

Looking at the buyback clause IF AmigaInc goes bankrupt, Amiga OS 4.0 is legally Hyperions to do as they please.

AmigaInc accuses Hyperion for willfull delay on completing the project and returning OS 4.0 to AmigaInc, in an attempt to destroy AmigaInc and acquire Amiga OS 4.0 rights automatically.

Could this be true ? How can a compitent Softwarehouse overextend its contractual obligations ?

Yes Hyperion took 5 years to finish OS 4.0, thats not AmigaIncs fault.

Hyperion do not own Amiga OS 4.0 so they should return it in the minimilistic feature set as requested in the contract.

Hyperion should not offer technical support for AmigaOS 4.0 as it is not in their contract.

Create a new contract to remedy all this.
