And ask yourself. Do you really think Ralph and Frank didn't see OS3.1 source code before MorphOS was created?
Sure, the framework of the 3.1 API is fully documented, and MorphOS contains no OS3.1 code.
But by current standards, it wasn't exactly a clean environment.
Even if it were true (and it's not - Commodore worked with Phase5, not handed them source), it's a bit like saying "The developers of Fallout 4 might have seen bits of the original Doom 1993 source, therefore Fallout 4 is pirated".
Which is also quite on the irony scale given that the lawsuit here being discussed is about Hyperion very definitely using AmigaOS source directly to produce an illegal derivative.
