Trust me, I've both purchased and obtained so many softwarez over the years - but I think the ArcaOS project isn't IBM... while I wanted to take a peak at it first, I did buy a license since I wanted to use it in production. But I agree with you; data should be free - especially when we're talking about software that is 30 years old and runs on hardware that isn't current. 

At any rate... its an awesome time to be into retro computing.
