Hyperion Entertainment is a company that has access to the AmigaOS source code because they were contracted over 25 years ago to port AmigaOS to PowerPC (called AmigaOS 4) as part of a failed attempt to keep the platform going. After that didn't go anywhere, they decided to start selling AmigaOS 3 updates meant to run on old Commodore Amiga hardware to retrocomputing enthusiasts. The project has very little overhead because despite being a commercial product, all development is done by unpaid volunteers. Note that there's been ongoing lawsuits over whether Hyperion is legally allowed to sell AmigaOS 3 updates due to their contract being to develop AmigaOS 4. Here's a pretty good summary of that situation and how it's been holding up the release of an Amiga replica product: https://x.com/MuseumCommodore/status/1902705399234756786 https://x.com/MuseumCommodore/status/1902705399234756786
