If you search for "Jolitz", they almost all turn up:

They're not totally open access; you have to register with DD to get all of them. However,
while looking for something else (below), I did find this:

  https://www.386bsd.org/releases

which appear to be the same as the above.


One of the items listed in WP, "Copyright, Copyleft, and Competitive
Advantage" (Apr/1991) wasn't in the search results (the "Editorial" at the
right point in the search results wasn't it, alas). A Web search didn't turn
it up either. Since it's not in the 'releases' page, it might not really be
part of the series?
