I would suspect that the system software follows the hardware in license,
though I'm certainly not a lawyer....  :-)

Regardless, though, for whatever this is worth, old versions of MacOS are
downloadable from Apple's ftp site.  I _think_ it goes all the way through
7.5 now, but it may just be through 7.1 or something.  Any machine that
runs NetBSD-mac68k should be able to run that, though.  Obviously, though,
you still need access to a machine that's running MacOS to download it and
write the image files to a series of floppies.  :-)
