What keeps people from putting Apple's system Software in the
comp.binaries.apple2 group and similar mailers is simple. All of Apple
Computer Inc.'s sytem software is copyrited. It would be very hard for them to
protect said copyrite if they distributed the software in that manner.
 
If you want the newest System software, and you do not have access to a
dealer, then consider buying it via a mail order house. I know that Roger
Coats and Perfered Computing both carry it.
