[Simh] ka655/ka655x + copyright/licensing issues

1) Earlier versions of SIMH had two firmware files for the VAX, one
being the "original" and one being modified to handle more memory.
Version 3.7.2 only has the latter.  Is the former not necessary anymore?


2) Debian/Ubuntu ships a crippled version of simh because they
intentionally remove the firmware because they believe the copyright and
license situation is unclear.  Is there anything we can tell them to
make them feel that it's safe to not excise the firmware?
