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?
