If you click on the

link at the bottom of that page, you get a page that says:

I don't have the End User License Agreement handy, but, unless it says
"you can give this source code away to anybody", it appears that the
terms of use page doesn't let you give it away - and, presumably,
doesn't let you give away anything derived from it.
