I think that is it.
I think they're basically saying that Hyperion can use OS 3.1 for developing OS 4 and above but nobody else can. It means Amiga inc. cannot license OS 3.1 for use in any other OS. Of course, nobody else actually wants it, but that's beside the point.

It's not explicitly clear but it looks to me like it does not impact Cloanto as they are not developing an OS. If it did impact Cloanto, Amiga inc. would have (yet again) shot themselves in the foot since that would almost certainly be a breech of contract.
