They are not partners. Not according to the Hyperion press release. Amiga, Inc. no longer owns or has rights to AmigaOS 4. Hyperion is the sole owner of AOS4. Just like Amiga, Inc. has or had, Hyperion now has unlimited rights to Amiga OS 3.1. Hyperion now has Amiga OS and is completely separated from any entanglemnet with Amiga, Inc. All Amiga, Inc. has is Amiga Anywhere and whatever other rights/ownership of previous Amiga OS versions. Amiga, Inc. previously mention and long in development Amiga OS 5 is sunk. At least under that name.
1. AI/Itec never owned OS4 Object/Source and that was the law suit of Itec's to gain Object/Source from Hyperion.
2. They already had access to 3.1 (and not 3.5/3.9), which means the IP they used (since they didn't use the source code) for OS4 is now locked to Hyperion.
3. Nor did Hyperion's announcement say they were no longer associated with AI. This is a settlement between two partners over a contract dispute, both sides had to give. That means AI got something out of this fails to mention what that was. Since I doubt Hyperion could afford significant payment to AI and they did change legal status, it does make one wonder if AI got shares out of Hyperion.
