They are not. Copyright (not to mention the insane license agreement)
does not expire when something is no longer sold. When a publisher 
quits printing a book, does it's copyright expire? You might call
DR and ask if they'll permit you to make copies on a no-profit 
basis, or if they'll release it (hahaha....) into public domain.
(Remember, these people wanted $350 for CP/M-86, which is why 
everyone wrote for the $60 PC-DOS.)

Probably true, but the source code would be a great starting 
point for someone else....
