The above request raises a question?

Doesn't this endeavor require a source license for an Altos, or a
sufficiently-rich cross-development environment (which is source-licensed)?

-------
This request also prompts a more general PLEA:

Would sites who are fortunate enough to have source licenses be willing
to provide updated/improved binaries of popular utilities to sites
with binary-only licenses (and the same architecture / compatible U*x)??

Yes, I know that this is the responsibility of the vendor, but most vendors
have a very insular view of ``working software'' -- if it doesn't
core-dump, it works!  FOO!!!

If there is sufficient support for this idea, could the net be used
as a clearinghouse of `who has what for which'?  Note: the binaries
would be retrieved via direct uucp; only the pointers would be in
net.binary.*, along with a description of the feature level.
