I feel like we've been through this before on this list, but perhaps it
bears repeating: just because you can find source (or binaries, or CD
images, etc.) on the internet, that doesn't make it the least bit legal.
That is clearly the case here. Sadly, there are even higher profile sites
like the Internet Archive that have this problem too.  The concept of
"abandonware" has no legal footing whatsoever.
