I think that purposely mentioning Abandonware in the rules was a good idea. Putting it in there that there is no problem with the software producers contacting the admins about what they may feel is "piracy" of old software is not unreasonable. As much as it sucks, if MS were to contact the admins because somebody's dishing out copies of MS Works 2.0, their only choice would be to comply and stop discussions of it. That little clause about being open to contact from the producers could save them alot of headaches, and it doesn't prevent us from swapping floppies around, unless some company is offended by it.
Just remember kids, "Don't copy that floppy!"
