You must be thinking of Allen Braunsdorf (maintainer of the
Purdue archives), who stated that as *his* personal policy.

I agreed to make the contents of NeXT's diskette available.
What's in that directory is what was on that diskette (minus the
empty lost+found created when you make a new filesystem).

This in no way constitutes an endorsement of Squash.  Neither I,
San Francisco State University, the Trustees of the California
State University, nor the State of California make any claims as
to the suitability or usefulness of this data for any purpose.
No warranty is expressed or implied.  Use at your own risk, etc.

You're more than welcome to volunteer *your* machine to be
pounded on day and night by ravenous FTP clients.

BTW, NeXTs with only 8MB RAM don't make good file servers.
