There was already a juridical discusion about WfW 3.11 and Win95 on the
Internet andm according to the US Law, the rights for software expires
if THE manufacturer stop selling it and does not more do support for it
(this excludes documentations, e.g. the M$ Knowledgebase)

Which meanm you can Distribute all versions of MS-Dos and Windows up to
Win95 freely.
