In addition to Sascha's comments:

Serious commercial developers and distributors always ask for 
permission. Besides of the ethic aspect, reselling copyright protected 
names or sounds can become very expensive. And besides of that, imagine 
a letter from Yamaha addressed to you: "First, you did not have the 
permission to distribute a product whose name implies that it is a 
product of our company. Second - your samples do not sound like a real 
RM50. You injured our reputation." Oops.

Easy workaround: study the preset names of the Guitar Amp Pro. Apple 
did not avoid real names just for fun...
