There are
*updates* to 7.5 (like 7.5.1, etc) that are freely
available from Apple's sites, but I've never seen 7.5 itself
freely available for download.
I only have a direct link to the Swedish version of 7.5.3, but there are a of English versions. Let me have a look.
Hmm, here is a truncated link to version 7.0.1:
ftp://ftp.apple.com ...
/System/Older_System/System_7.0.x/System_7.0.1.smi.bin
Ah yes, here is 7.5.3:

It's just a matter of looking around, or perhaps reading
Pickle's classic Mac
FAQ. Try to have a look at http://www.lowendmac.com/.
I think you're missing my point.
System 7.5 was a retail-boxed version of MacOS, as was
System 7.1, and NEITHER of them are available for free
download.
The last version of MacOS that was available for free
download was OS 7.0.1.
Everything else that's available is an UPDATE, and CAN NOT
be used for a fresh install. You can't, for example, install
System 7.5.3 on a Macintosh UNLESS it already has 7.5 or 7.5.1.
