To distribute Apple software with your product you need to license it from Apple's Software Licensing department, which you can contact at +1 408 974 4667. Last I noticed, it was $50 per product per year for the 8-bit system disk. If you are just distributing your own work, requiring the customer to already have ProDOS 8 and BASIC.SYSTEM, there is no need to license the stuff. -- David A.
