There are a few more constraints on the distribution than that.  To be
absolutely certain, just read the pamphlet about  licensing which came
with your Borland products.  Mine was a  4-page folded "booklet" which
clearly explains your rights in distributing applications
royalty-free.

In short,  you can include the   .bgi  files and  other  such types of
libraries as long as (1) your application uses them, and (2)  you have
a valid copyright notice on your application.   If you do  not want to
put your own copyright statement, you must include a Borland copyright
statement which they tell  you is contained on the  label of the first
disk.
