That probably depends where you are.  A bone of contention with certain
Linux distributions is their lack of MP3 support, which is left out
simply because the US allows software patents and is a very litigious
country.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was perfectly legal to use Simh outside
the US in a commercial environment.  The licences may say otherwise, but
not be legally valid.
