Wow! There are some gaps in your bookmarks!
It is pretty common knowledge that H&P never paid royalties from OS3.9 to Amiga Inc and McBill ultimately declared it illegal
I don't collect bookmarks like you do, so a quick Google search only brings up
people discussing this issue.

What's also interesting is they skim over issues with H&P. I believe there are more OS3.9 sales than 4.0 so why don't they sue H&P? Infact, Hyperion have shown that the same types of contracts that were made with H&P regarding outside developers have been made with Hyperion. To my knowledge, H&P has not paid Amiga Washington any licensing fees. Where's that lawsuit?
To make things even more unsavory, OS3.9 includes an entirely pirate version of Genesis TCP/IP Stack.
That's probably another one of the reasons both OS3.5 and OS3.9 are not considered canon.
