What about some basic DOS tools such as Copy, Delete etc.? What about ISOCD and CDTV.TM? I can't include kickstart files, that's for sure.

DOS commands are fine to include, pretty much every PD/magazine disk used to include them back in the day.
No, it's actually ILLEGAL to distribute DOS commands and libraries. However, because they are useless without the Kickstart ROM's, and the Kickstart ROM's usually come with a copy of the OS disks. This means that almost nobody can make use of the DOS commands and libraries without having a legitimate claim to them. Which means that you CAN legally include them in your package. As long as your package is not simply a bootleg of the OS disks.

That's my understanding of it anyway.
