Well, despite what Bill may say or think, this is not true.

I said before that UUNET would drop our no-binaries policy when I got
the new disks up on the archive, and since I've just finished moving
the archive from uunet.uu.net to the new 9 GB on ftp.uu.net, that
policy is now history.

I have included the rest of the 386BSD distribution in our mirror
