"Minimig [homepage] stands for Mini Amiga. Minimig is an FPGA-based re-implementation of the original Amiga 500 hardware. In it's current form, Minimig is a single PCB measuring only 12*12cm which makes it the smallest 'Amiga' ever made and the first new 'Amiga' in almost 14 years! Minimig is available for download as an open-source/open-hardware design under the GNU public license. This page describes the architecture and the inner working of the Minimig. All design files can be downloaded from the download section."

"Illegal why?
Illegal in the sense you are restricted to use in a given machine? Where's that contract one signs saying it? Right, there's none..."

Copywrite violation == illegal.
This is such a basic fact it really shouldn't need to be explained on a forum such as this

Or, you know, just pay $10 or so to get them from Amiga's current owners.
I sense your sarcastic self-righteousness, but having 1990's ROM chips in hand does not equate to having a file on disk. Getting from ROM to file is the problem. Although perhaps purchase of (and therefore possession of) old hardware could be used to justify an illegal download.
