    This is total hearsay, but I heard that Apple has allowed any user
group to distribute System 6.01 *on disk only* provided they obtain a
copy from a legal source.  That means a UG member can order 6.01 from
Resource Central and then the UG can make copies and distribute it to
the other members.  This doesn't conflict with the "no electronic
distribution" concerning WAPI and the online services.  Again, I have no
confirmation of this from Apple.
