The posting instructions from Apple to licensed electronic distributors were included in a letter that accompanied the disk.  Specifically, the letter says:
        
"You are authorized to begin posting this software to your bulletin board on August 31, 1990 (underlined in letter).  You do not (underlined in letter) have authorization to post this software on your bulletin board prior to that date."
        
The same electronic distribution date applies to all electronic distributors.  If what you say is true, then UCB is in violation of the license agreement.
        
Some distributors 'jump' the post date to have the software available before anyone else.  The rest of us don't appreciate it much.
