The timing makes it seem like it may have been an insider leak to let AmigaOS live on. Either without Hyperion's support, or with their support, only not officially and so that they have no accountability.
There are <a href="<a href="http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=80875">comments" rel="nofollow">http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=80875">comments</a> on</a> one of the Amiga communities most popular forums by a Olaf Barthel, a developer who modernised a more complete version of the 3.x source code. He relates that you need several different C compilers for different parts of the OS, from one that needs to run on a Sun OS to various Amiga-based compilers (Aztec/Manx).
Given that, at least back when I still used the Amiga, the community Amiga Resource Project (ARP) was free, open source, and superior in all respects to Commodore's "official" AmigaDOS, so much so that it was adopted by Commodore at one point, why would one want this?<p>I find it hard to believe Commodore got better at writing system software as it got worse at everything else and then went bankrupt.
