a big thank you to the hyperion directors for taking the time to review the document

I'm confused - AFAIK, hyperion has a license to the 3.1 sourcecode - not to internal strategy papers made by commodore employees?

Download link is not working..

There might be a very official reason it's not working. As terminilis and I tried to point out earlier, Hyperion has a "object and source code license for Amiga OS 3.1" and nothing else. It's hard to see how they could give eliyahu a license to distribute this document.

The real copyright owner might not want to have his property floating around the net with a big red "this belongs to hyperion, thanks for permission to distribute it" disclaimer on top of every page.

yea....I guess you dont know what I'm talking about.   The "future options" pdf is what I'm talking about.

Yes, and it's probably (c) Cloanto, not Hyperion. Which is why Cloanto might not appreciate that it's being distributed it with a big "(c) Hyperion" disclaimer on top of every page.

Which is why Eliyahu took it down again until the issue is cleared up.

I'd draw you a picture, but I'm really not much of an artist...
