Actually, it appears you do need a lesson on copyrights. While you may
disagree with the tone or source of the information, Nathan's facts were
100% on the mark: GS/OS is copyrighted. Only sites that have a legitimate
license from Apple can legally post it. As far as I know, Apple has never
made GS/OS available in the format you're asking for, so in a backhanded
sort of way, what Nathan was telling you is it isn't legally available in
the format you asked about--and so, hopefully, it isn't available at all,
and reasonable people would shun any place that made it available in that
format.

It would be nice if XGS would handle the formats that _are_ legally
available. I personally took a look at it and rejected it in favor of Gus
without looking further for that very reason. (If Gus had serious problems
I might have looked harder, but for me it doesn't.)
