I cannot say for ChemAxon. My own understanding is that wholesale use of their list "as is" is probably protected. On the other hand the abbreviations themselves cannot be copyrighted and nothing should prohibit one from double-checking your own list against entries in rightName.abbrevgroup - provided you compile your list on your own. I've encoded the SMILES in superatom.txt by hand.
I'm not a lawyer though, so I could be wrong. Hopefully not.
