My question is, does the denial of injunction mean Hyperion can legally start selling OS 4.0?


Short answer, yes. However, it will do them no good if they loose the actual lawsuit, because Amiga Inc. will claim any profits as theirs.

As far as I can tell, anyone willingly touching OS4 at this point takes a big risk. There is no way telling how this lawsuit will end in year/two and *if* Hyperion loses (even partially) you'll end up in a lot of trouble if you'll been bundling your HW with this OS.

Imho, it's likely that this suit may well end up losing side paying considerable sums of money and at this point I doubt Hyperion could cough up the cash for any major compensations of illegal IP/trademark use.. (that is, if they lose)
