I'm confused by the Copyright that appears on these sources.  You've
posted their location to the world, but the text of the headers makes it 
sound like they're "owned" by Addison-Wesley and we're supposed to be 
paying $$ for them unless we're a prof that has "selected" the Foley
et. al. text for our class.

Whats really going on here?  Can we install them on our machine(s)?
Can we redistribute them?  I'm not a professor (and have no ambition
to become one).
