Randy -
Yes.
From the revised RPA - "Notwithstanding the foregoing, You are specifically allowed to publicly distribute the ARIN TAL, including by embedding the ARIN TAL in relying party software;”
Note that “as with the other RIRs” may be a key element of your question, since usersof the other RIRs RPKI repositories are also subject to the relevant terms and conditions(e.g. "RIPE NCC Certification Repository Terms and Conditions" https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/resource-management/rpki/legal/ripe-ncc-certification-repository-terms-and-conditions) To the extent that you rely on ARIN’s RPA to provide the right to publiclydistribute the TAL, you are also subject its terms and conditions. I don’t particularlyconsider being subject to the terms and conditions of service that your choose asmaking one “encumbered”, but for avoidance of doubt figured I should point that out.
