They have said in the Q&A that a rope made of Velcro isn't necessarily illegal. They don't want to say "Velcro is legal" because surely there are things sold as Velcro that don't meet the other rules for a legal rope, but they've specifically refused to say it is outright illegal, and said that there are possible configurations of Velcro ropes that are legal. So they're legal.
