Wording is poor, so it might be interpreted that Hyperion also has rights to 3.1 or even earlier versions outside the context of 4.x and the brefore there is no sure way to say how this will end (my guess is on either one side going under during the process or another shady agreement).
My guess is that the wording was so poor because Amiga Inc didn't want to draw further attention to the fact that it did not own a copy of AmigaOS source and had taken no interest in AmigaOS/AmigaONE development whatsoever despite publicly saying they had (being more focused on possible investor scams and money laundering, which they would naturally not want to talk about either).
Amiga Inc knew nothing about AmigaOS, and cared nothing except money and not losing their IP.
It was a rogue's agreement, probably thrown together on the 11th hour, and only meant to give both sides breathing space while they got ready to wreck the other again.
