The *generation* of the PDC Amiga.lib is OK. The distribution of the
result publicly is not necessarily OK (unless they check that the
receiver also is the owner of an Amiga Extras disk), as it clearly is
a derived work of the AmigaBasic .fd files as found on every Extras
disk. The distribution of a program that creates an amiga.lib from the
same files is perfectly legit, though.
