Release from contract: questions
From several pages ago: "As for your request, in the spirit of the conditions described in the amendment that you received, we hereby grant you permission to make your book available free of charge as you have requested."
What does "in the spirit of the conditions described" mean? Is PA saying that they expect you to fulfill the conditions in the amendment, such as not speaking against them and not showing Paragraphs 3 and later to another publisher, even though you didn't sign it?
It does look as if whether you sign the thing makes no difference: you can get your book back anyway.
