The deletion of the KLF Comms. catalogue was a symbolic gesture in support of
their (tenuous) "departure from the music business" back in '92.  They could
almost certainly have made more money keeping the stuff in print on their own
label than they're making now in licensing fees from the handful of non-UK
labels keeping things like Chill Out and The White Room in print.
