I was looking up some Dell copyrights and came across this. It is for many Dell properties and even included Brothers of the Spear. Does it mean what it looks like to me that Dell willingly released the property. Do a more search options for V3476D630. Click on a title. It will have a clickable FULL TITLE Tall Book of Christmas & 12,270 more. When you click you get a message that looks like the rights were terminated.

2001 is the year that Classic Media acquired many items that had been published by Western/Dell/Gold Key so this may be just notice that they were relinquishing the rights to the new copyright holder.
I understand that Dreamworks bought out Classic Media in 2012 so they would own those properties now.

Yes, that's about right. Not unusual to see notations like this when properties are sold, or used as collateral for loans (the intellectual property so to speak) - the bank/credit institution is usual noted in cases like that, as it here being the administrative agent for the rights holder.
I noticed a similar notation when researching the old AIP libary - having past hands several times,and used as collateral when MGM restructured AGAIN!
