I've got a #retrocomputing question: how to deal with old OS version licenses ? I mean is there a kind of hobbyist license ? Often, finding the old version of an os is hard beacuse it's abandonned, then how to deal with the license ?
RT appreciated :)

@dervishe More often than not, there is not (and such "hobbyist" licenses are usually with lots of restrictions making anything fun impossible). Best is to ignore unjust licenses, and just move on with life.

Sometimes, you might get lucky in that the copyright holder still exists, and can ask them to make the software #FreeSoftware -- more often though .. the copyright holder no longer exists,
