Might as well keep this stuff alive as long as
there is a need for it and
as long as the original copyright holder has no plans for it. As long as
the original copyright holder is no longer marketing it and it's not being
sold for a profit then I don't see an ethical dilemma.
No ethical dilema here! I don't feel bad
about posting this stuff at
all because (1) the equipment isn't being sold any more, (2) the docs have
been left to rot by the original owner and (3) the docs are too valuable to
the vintage computing community to not make them available.
Well, there's another, now way in depth article on /.
about Abandonware, which is way close to our theme:
