Just thought this was kind of interesting, and something TFUGers would
take an interest in:

"Abstract:
UNIX has been, and continues to be, a very influential operating
system. Future computing historians will want to look back at the
development of UNIX to trace its effects on the computing industry.

This [page] reviews the efforts being undertaken to preserve old
versions of UNIX (both source and binaries), to gather the information
required to maintain systems running these versions of UNIX, and the
progress that has been achieved in providing legal access to old UNIX
source by individuals."
