They view Thendic(Genesi) as their direct competion. Would you give your product to the competion? Especially, if they believe in the Morphos/AmigaOS IP theft, they may think that DE might get stolen from them.
If one of the actions the judge chooses is to approve the sanctions put forward by Thendic/Genesi's lawyers and as such includes the mentioned handing over of a copy of the source code of DE to Genesi to port. Amiga, Inc. could loose control over DE.
What's going to happen?
Don't know. We'll have to break out the chips and dip till the next exciting episode of release documents comes out. Same Amiga Time, Same Amiga Channel.

Sorry, I should have been more detailed.
It was suppost to be in context with the Morphos/AmigaOS IP issues.
If Amgai, Inc. currently believes that Morphos is based in whole or in part somehow on AmigaOS source code, they may fear that having to turn over the sourse code for Thendic/Genesi to port (assuming they can't and are thus ordered by the judge to do so as in the proposed sanctions) that they may loose control of DE. Not that it would be out right stolen per se.

The only thing I can think of is that, there is no DE or at least not in useable form. We won't know until it's all over, so we wait and speculate.
