About Licence of their SDK :

" you will not (a) incorporate or compile any portion of the Program
Materials into your own programs or any other software, (b) distribute,
sub-license or otherwise provide any portion of the Program Materials to
any third party, or (c) modify or create derivative works of the Program
Materials."
...
May actually be a good point. Their license also explicitly calls out
that software made with the SDK should be intended for distribution in
Amazon's App Store.
" You may use Program Materials only in connection with Your Products
intended for distribution through the Distribution Program, unless the
documentation for the applicable Program Materials authorizes broader use. "
I think we might need to summon a lawyer on this one.
