OMG! Re-read it yourself. It does not say that it can't be done, it says only "in some cases, probably not". It also states that some ROM images won't work, but unless you are thinking of burning your own Kickstart ROMs, that is not an issue. Making your own Workbench floppy disks should not be a problem, though I have not tried it myself yet, as I can still get my original floppy disks to do an install by switching disks when an error occurs from one set to another as the errors are in different locations on each set of faulty disks.
The EULA for AmigaForever probably forbids the making of Workbench floppy disks, if it mentions this topic at all, because that is the way the license was originally written, but since when has an EULA ever stopped anyone from doing anything.
Grow up and move on to something that is actually interesting to the Amiga community and that you can get some results from! The chances of any of this being resolved are near zero, and if it is not resolved in court, nothing is going to change the way Amigas are used every day now. Move on to something productive.
I think the issue is that mostly all of us would like an easy, LEGAL way of obtaining the classic software or ROM images for our original machines, without having to deal with attitude, bullshit, and accusations of piracy.
There are two answers to this desire: 1. STFU and steal them (say, from google); or 2. Buy AmigaForever (even if you don't run windows) and maybe be able to make a set of disks from that (even if it is against the EULA).
Neither one of these solutions are acceptable, nor sustainable. I am sorry that they are tiresome to read about, and it must be nice for you to have enough sets to not worry about it, but then again we are not you, nor at this point could most people be, considering that you have an immense collection of Amiga stuff and have been collecting uninterrupted since 1985 or so
.
There is absolutely no reason why we as a community with MONEY IN HAND should not know who to pay to receive quality OEM software for our classic amigas. We have lots of projects coming out that require it (NatAmi, FPGAArcade, Minimig). Lots of us want our hobby to attract more people, people who shouldn't have to resort to theft to even participate, or be forced to violate a EULA to do so. ROMS and disks/.adfs should be easily available, regardless of which drama queen du jour is shouting it (perhaps in a scots accent).
