They've been selling these boxes for years on various sites, geekbuying, ebay, amazon even. Until recently when KODI started going nuclear to distance themselves from the illegal plugins(US)/grey plugins(CA).
KODI have announced plans to go after anybody using their name to sell these devices, because they are tired of being accused of piracy when they have nothing to do with these copyright grey addons. From what I understand they are using their trademarks to stop them, you'll notice they never mentioned the device is running KODI with third party plugins because they send out cease & desist orders for that.
