The site is rife with warez, I understand that, I was wondering about
the "legality" of distributing that source code, and if legal, if it had
been archived somewhere else already.

down is a mystery to me. I believe the concept started with old games
for DOS and has spread to include operating systems and other software.
I openly used a profane word referring to bovine excrement as my
opinion of this concept of "abandonware".
It's just warez, plain and simple.
