Comment on Where should I put diskette images?

I doubt anyone cares about copyright for software that old?

Some of the companies are still around and the serial is probably registered to my company’s name. The last thing I want is them finding the serial on the internet archive and calling my boss, even if the software is ancient.
My plan is to ask my boss whether he’s okay for me to upload all the anonymous stuff - driver and such - and to let me contact the companies in question to ask them permission to upload their old stuff with the serial. I don’t expect my boss refuse the former (he’s cool) and probably not the latter either. As for the individual software vendors, worst case, they refuse and I’ll simply post the software without the serial.
I want to do everything cleanly and above the radar. A bunch of old DOS programs aren’t worth getting in trouble for.

And just for follow up, I talked to my boss and it’s okay with it.
