It is legal. As Big Blue was and even is so kind to make available the kernel files
for free download, I am entitled
to consider the files as my property and I can do what I want to with these, within
the limits of the laws of my
country; make them available at my website for instance . According to the code
Napoléon, at with civil law is based
on in my country as well as in yours, what you got for free without any condition has
to be considered as your
property. And as long as some trade mark protection isn't infringed nothing anyone
could do.

That's what I told: turn it around, and anybody can acquire legally his uni kernel
files. :-)
