Looking at the Amazon Type Library Usage Guidelines, the following is stated:

Quote:
Overview
Here is a list of the designs fully owned by Amazon and their intended usage:
Bookerly (eInk, LDC,3 weights and italic) Reading and Display
Bookerly Display (2 weights and italic) UX and Display
Amazon Ember (7 weights and italic) UX and reading
Amazon Ember Condensed (6 weights and italics) - UX
Amazon Ember Display (6 weights and italic) - Display and Branding

All of these fonts were developed under contract for Amazon - as a result Amazon owns them
fully outright. To include these designs in your work there are no licenses payments, no
royalties, no copyright or attribution notices required. The font itself carries the proper
ownership and copyright information in the header metadata of the font and Amazon does not
require any additional attribution or protections when using the font.

Special Cases
Always reflect proper names of the fonts, (ie, Brookerly and Amazon Ember), do not abbreviate or shorten. The company name of Amazon must always precened it if it is displayed in a menu or text option dialog box.
So it would appear that as long as the embedded ownership and copyright notices are not removed and the filenames are not changed, there is no issue with distributing these fonts.
