Question to English native speakers

I had some discussion about the exact meaning of the sentence on the Hyperion announcement:

"Within the framework of the settlement agreement Hyperion is granted an exclusive, perpetual, worldwide right to AmigaOS 3.1 in order to use, develop, modify, commercialize, distribute and market AmigaOS 4.x (and subsequent versions of AmigaOS including without limitation AmigaOS 5) in any form, on any medium and for any current or future hardware platform under the exclusive trademark “AmigaOS” (Amiga operating system) and using other associated trademarks (such as the “BoingBall” logo)."

Some parts doesn't make sense to me, maybe they where translated from Flemish/Dutch to English.

Is Hyperions right on AOS3.1 restricted to it's use as part of OAS4.1 ?
( rights exclusively for AOS4. insted of exclusive rights ?)

Or does it means Amiga Inc. has lost all it's right on AOS3.1 ?
( Hyperion has the exclusive right to use AOS3.1)

If I interpret the announcement in the second way I does not understand why they mentioned AOS4 together with exclusive rights on AOS3.1. When thay have exclusive rights why are they bound to AOS4 ?

---

Did someone notice any changes according to the settlement on the AOS4 pages ?
