The terms don't say you can't produce software destined for a fork of Android, they say you can't fork the SDK tools themselves. Amazon was never in violation of these terms, and save for Google's proprietary SDKs (Play Services), Fire OS has always been fully API-compatible and "binary-compatible" (in the bytecode sense) with the Android platform release it is built upon. Amazon has never distributed the Android SDK tools, let alone forked them.
So I guess I'm not sure what this example proves.
