Actually that dates back to the C= auction (read it's been looming eversince Escom).

Villagetronic had exclusive rights to distribute the Kick3.1 upgrade packs under C=, so much is clear. What that contract implied in terms of ownership and bundling AmigaOS with non-C= HW has never been cleared.

The judge also didn't claim that it wasn't part of the sale/auction, only the that he could find no evidence that it was ....
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else
