Not a lawyer, but I think the reason Amazon did this is to prevent themselves against Oracle vs Google type issues. Alternatively, it could prevent attacks against AWS packaging popular software like Node or Wordpress in their offerings. One day Node might get upset at being repackaged and sold on AWS as part of Lambda or whatever (dunno if this is accurate but you get the idea), and Amazon wants to protect themselves against being sued in the future for that type of packaging.
