7.6 is a commercial release that may not be redistributed.

Up to 7.5.5 all version of Mac OS were free. 7.6 ushered in a brief
era of "cloned" macs, so Apple had a new reason to charge for the OS.

Of course please note that even though they killed cloning, they never
went back to giving the OS away.
