No (unless you pay them per copy). Because they don't allow copying
and you can't own a copy without paying for it (their "we don't sell

Stuff like extracted symbol tables is non-copyrightable. You can
copy and distribute it as much as you want (enforceable contractual
restrictions aside for a moment).
