Well Keen Dreams isn't technically freeware at the moment, since you can still buy it from DownloadStore (the current incarnation of SoftDisk).
You know what we should do? Call up Atari's attorneys and seriously/formally request information on the rights to Aliens Ate My Babysitter, find out the price, raise money to purchase it, and release it as freeware. Of course this is MUCH easier said than done. But I did form an LLC recently to keep track of my copyrights, so this could be done as a legitimate business request.
Where to get legal copy of Keen 6?

d00d, that would be awesome. I mean, I already have Keen 6 (I don't know if it's legally or not...my dad said he didn't remember paying for it ) but it's awfully inconvenient for those who don't own it to be unable to acquire it legally.

Ah, the ol' money rising trick. Has been suggested before and hasn't really taken wings, as we can see. KeenAid, yeah, that'd rock! I could play some keenpunk. Not that I have any skills, but wouldn't probably matter.
