    Great.
    This should be the standard for old retired software.

      No. This is not great. This is older than all of my kids. Fuck… this is older than my partner. This is not a good thing, this is far beyond the point where it should be open source. Where the fuck is DOS 6.22? Eh? Or Windows 3.11? This is stupid and dumb. Not to be celebrated.

        So should it not have been done at all because it wasn’t enough for you?

        The historical value alone it already a reason for it to become open source.
