Moderator's comment.

We should take note on this discussion that no mention of licensing has been brought up. I could be wrong on this issue, but to the best of my knowledge, the old Win 3.1 has not been classified as abandonware yet and still requires suitable licensing.

Unless somebody can show evidence from Microsoft that it is considered to be abandonware, discussions must be kept in the sense that licensing is still required.
