[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi Jake, Thanks for your interest in this project. For many years, the project had a license to Perforce servers. However, perforce dropped FreeBSD support years ago and the old binaries have effectively expired, so the project no longer has a license. There may be ways to extract this data, hopefully in the form of a git repo. I've sent inquiries and will let you know if it comes to anything. I have a large collection of weird, obsolete memorabilia from the project, including many copies of perforce trees. I checked, and none of them have even partial data for this project. The data on the wayback machine isn't complete, so we can't scrape it from there :(.
