What are the "rules" about copying and distribution?  Do the sources
contain the assembler and linker modifications?

Several of us have tried and failed to port g++.  The necessary code
is almost certainly in these NeXT mods, but I doubt that many of us
trying to do the port are willing to pay $150 just to see if the 
answer is lurking in this golden disk.
