I've never claimed that SlimLine 1.0 is legal. And I've read the DX license, as well as the SDK license.
I'm not an expert in law, but I think there is a certain "level" of legality (or in other words, how hard is it to prove that something is against the law). In light of this, SlimLine is less legal than dejavu's distribution, because it contains some files that weren't included in either
free 111fm MP patch or free demo. But nor SlimLine, nor dejavu's distribution are absolutely legal. But they're certainly
much more legal that redistributing the whole Cd image through the internet like many people do.
To make an even more legal MP distro, I'd have had to tell users to download 1112fm MP patch and demo manually, and then tell them to download my program which would unpack files from there and mix them into another distro.
And talking about absolute legality... I'm not sure that hosting DX demo is legal either
