Just because Apple lets you freely download software, doesn't mean
they are willing to allow us to distribute it. They prevented
usergroup sites (AMUG, etc) and magazines from distributing 8.6 and
QT 4 because they wanted to control distribution. I am all for
distributing the software Apple has on it's archives, but only if
they don't have a problem with it. I'm not willing to risk a resource
like this over files that can be found elsewhere. Other than
political reasons, I can't think why Apple would pull the files; they
still have system 6.0.3 and software for Apple ][ up (some have dates
back to March 94).
