The impression I got from Adafruit is that officially they are "not supporting either side" (although it seems pretty obvious which side is the "right" side to be on), but seem to be keen to exploit the situation by selling their own Arduino-clone boards.
There seem to be a few companies who would like to be "official US manufacturer" for Arduino.cc, and take the place of arduino.org, I think. So whatever the talk about "being excellent to each other", it's really about the chance to make a buck.
I have heard of a few distributors unwilling to cooperate with arduino.org, but for the larger ones like Adafruit I expect that Arduino sales are a decent size chunk of business which they don't want to give up. There is also a chance that arduino.org may win, and then the distributors who backed the wrong horse could find themselves cut out altogether.
I guess the rumored "big announcement" never happened, and the legal case drags on?
