From what I can glean from the information on the site, this seems at the very most to be something to do with Gateway cherry-picking parts of the Commodore IP when the went bankrupt.
Escom orriginaly bought commodore to sell branded media and printers which they did actually release. I think when gateway sold Amiga to the pheonix consrtium (or amino or something?) they sold just about everything but shrewdly kept the commodore name as they realised what escom did before them, and that was commodore had an incredible brand loyalty.
