There is a reason; it's called a license. I quote from the
September 1990 Berkeley Computing Bulletin: "This licensing
agreement applies to all Macintosh computers in use on campus
as well as to Macintosh computers owned by students enrolled
at the university." So, it would be a violation of our license
to send copies off campus.

On the other hand, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Stanford
and other universities have similar Apple licenses and will make
system software, including the new ResEdit, available.
Alternatively, nothing prevents you from agitating that they
obtain such a license if they don't already have one.
