The settlement was created to allow both companies to do business. Hyperion could keep making AmigaOS 4 without Amiga Inc's interference, but in return Hyperion would not get rights to what they consistently had not paid for, i.e. classic AmigaOS, Amiga hardware exclusivity. They developed OS4 themselves. Other versions of AmigaOS simply do not belong to them. They did not pay for them in any way.

This was the understanding of all parties at the time, including the judge. Hyperion's trying to unravel it in their favour by using uncertain wording, just because AmigaOS 4 flatlined while classic blossomed again, is sure to seen with the dimmest of dim views by the court.
