BBS systems that offer system software for downloading pay a small yearly
fee for the license, which allows them to offer the current system software,
Hypercard, and other utilities. In their license, they are required to keep
track of who downloads the software. Apple may never request the information,
but going by the license, the sysops are obligated to keep it.
