I have CDs of 2.0, 2.1 and 3.0. I had 1.x, but I can't put my hands<br>
on them right now. Maybe they were on QIC tape, in which case they're<br>
probably unrecoverable. I also have source trees for 4.0, 4.1 and the<br>
development version of 5.0 which I used to write the code for FreeBSD.<br>
<br>
What's the legal situation about distributing them?<br></blockquote></div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">No one is left to go after you for diing so.
