Er folks, it is really uncool to go onto a machine and grab stuff
off unless invited to and then advertise it to the world.  It will
make NeXT more paranoid about how it deals with distributing of
software.  Regardless of legal issues, it is a questionable practice.

Plethora which used to have the GNU 1.0 sources got over 100 ftp
connections even though there is nothing there... Seems people have
automated their seek and grab software programs.
