I have CDs of 2.0, 2.1 and 3.0. I had 1.x, but I can't put my hands
on them right now. Maybe they were on QIC tape, in which case they're
probably unrecoverable. I also have source trees for 4.0, 4.1 and the
development version of 5.0 which I used to write the code for FreeBSD.
What's the legal situation about distributing them?
No one is left to go after you for diing so. Wind river left bsdi support
behind years ago....
But that's a slippery slope that depends on how you feel about ancient
abandonware...

Many of
the BSD/OS versions have disc images on archive.org or
osarchive.org where the 7.4GB rar file was helpful for getting a 5.1
contrib disc since the archive.org one is corrupt. So the binaries
and source seem fairly well preserved for future explorers.
Check again. The contrib image in the 7.4GB rar has the same hash as
the one on archive.org and elsewhere. I have no idea if the install
image is 100% correct. Hell, it's possible every image in that archive
and on archive.org is bad. I just don't know.
So if anybody has any BSD/OS CDs please speak up. --
