Though this is probably not the case, remember that if the party
requesting the copy is a library that had previously owned a legal copy
that is now damaged, lost, stolen or degraded, and if an unused copy is
not available at a fair price, you can make a copy for them without
obtaining permission from anyone. (section 108).

If you obtained this program from a distributor, they can probably
negotiate permission (if available) on behalf of both copyright holders.
If
fact, if their distribution rights are exclusive, they may be the ONLY
party able to do so.
