Granted that Im not sure of the precise argument here, but I am
aware of certain issues regarding copyright and the XNA header
being seen as a valid request. I read an article on this a few
years ago and my understanding is that people do in fact have
rights in this area.

The only other "archive" as such that I'm aware of is Remark
which is no longer free anyway. Other so called "archives" are
just servers with a longer retention than most.
