I'd say that statement doesn't say anything for or against... it just means that they want to be sure no-one's going to pop out of the ground and sue them for trademark violation. If they own all the trademarks, they're safe. That's it.
The only way to really give AROS the shove forwards it needs is to hire some full time professional developers to solve the hard problems. Bounties just provide some incentive, but unless an OSS project has some really dedicated individuals (Linus, Theo, etc), people just pick stuff to work on that's fun to do. Most people want to do flashy things like GUIs or interesting things like filesystems. You normally have to pay someone before they'll want to do something boring and hard but necessary like performance, error reporting or improved message passing.
