Well, the Arena License agreement does indeed say:
"License agreements:
You may distribute the content of the program package only in unmodified form."
but it also says in the next line (the (...) is to cut out the many names and
other programs):
"Especially, distribution of Arena GUI (...) on other webpages, newspaper, CDs,
print and other media without the permission of authors (...) is not permitted."
It says it is dated November 12th, and I do not know if this line was added as a
result of this whole discussion, or whether it was there previously.
