Yes, I got this much. What I don't get is how Ben wanting to take over the OS3/m68k/classic market from Cloanto can be a reason for Jens having purchased P96 from Abt&Kneer.

With the caveat that using CGX instead of P96 prevents some features from working due to some CGX internals being kept closed.

I think the causality is more likely the other way round, i.e. Hyperion has handed out some licenses to Jens, which are essential to his Amiga business and are now being disputed by Cloanto in court, so Jens is trying to (financially) harm Cloanto where he can, hoping this will help Hyperion against Cloanto and increase the probability of upholding his licenses. Remember that Jens announced to leave the Amiga market should Cloanto win a lawsuit (which would most likely mean the annulation of the licenses).
