Unlike many bits of shiny technical equipment, a car still has a useful life after three years and can be re-sold on. If I acquire a four-year-old Cadillac, the "at least three years" requirement of 3(b) would have been met and I might not be able to obtain source. Given software's spread into longer-living commodities, some form of archiving seems to keep popping up as a future need. Cheers, Ralph.
