The phrase above is the central issue: "AVR Studio ... may be freely copied and 
*distributed in its original form*" (emphasis mine)

This means that it may not be re-distributed in parts, that you cannot 
redistribute just the XML device files only. They have to be included with the 
entire AVR Studio package.
