From the "License" part of the MUI.guide file:
Quote:
- This license applies to the product called "MagicUserInterface"
(short "MUI"), a collection of programs for the Amiga computer,
published by Stefan Stuntz under the concepts of shareware, and
the accompanying documentation. The terms "Program" and "MUI"
below, refer to this product. The licensee is addressed as "you".
- You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the program's
executable code and documentation as you receive it, in any
medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish
only the original, unmodified program, with all copyright notices
and disclaimers of warranty intact and including all the
accompanying documentation, example files and anything else that
came with the original.
- Except when otherwise stated in this documentation, you may not
copy and/or distribute this program without the accompanying
documentation and other additional files that came with the
original. You may not copy and/or distribute modified versions of
this program.
- You may not copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer the
program except as expressly provided under this license. Any
attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or
transfer the program is void, and will automatically terminate
your rights to use the program under this license. However,
parties who have received copies, or rights to use copies, from
you under this license will not have their licenses terminated so
long as such parties remain in full compliance.
- By copying, distributing and/or using the program you indicate your
acceptance of this license to do so, and all its terms and
conditions.
- Each time you redistribute the program, the recipient automatically
receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute
and/or use the program subject to these terms and conditions. You
may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients'
exercise of the rights granted herein.
- You may not disassemble, decompile, re-source or otherwise reverse
engineer the program.
- You agree to cease distributing the program and data involved if
requested to do so by the author.
Seems that there should be no problems, as long as:
1) You distribute the whole package, meaning every single file in the original archive, including all the documentation and example files
2) You don't distribute modified versions
3) You don't try to disassemble or re-engineer it in any way
So leave the package contents untouched and I guess it should be fine, and the users of your AROS 68k distro is automatically granted their own license to use the MUI you have distributed to them.
But if you "upgrade it", developing it further, reverse engineer it, or change it in any other way, then you have breached the MUI license.
Right?
MorphOS is Amiga
done right! 
MorphOS NG will be AROS
done right!
