We got our sources via anonymous FTP from zap.mit.edu (18.72.0.126).
I don't know of anybody doing UUCP distributions like we do with the
GNU stuff.  You might write to the following address (pasted from the
README):	MIT / Project Athena
		Cambridge, Mass. 02139
to ask about having a tape cut for you, though I don't know about
their distribution scheme.

We run the same binaries on a 3/50 and a 3/160C.  I don't know about
the 3/140 because we don't have any.

If you can get to the sources anonymously across the Internet, how can
any license restrictions be enforced?
