Apple may still care because not defending their license on this old 
product sets a legal precident that dilutes their licenses on current 
products.  If they really didn't care legally they should/would release 
the software as they did with MacOS 7.5.  Given that A/UX isn't available 
from Apple in any form I'd be careful about posting it for others to 
download.
