I went and looked on the Apple support downloads web site (which is at http://support.apple.com/downloads/) and saw a link to "OlderSoftware Downloads" (http://support.apple.com/kb/TA48312? viewlocale=en_US)which appears to have page after page of old stuff, including System 6 and most of the versions of System 7 (looks like all but 7.6).
Good catch - I missed that page, but I just looked closely at it, and didn't see any base OS downloads. Everything seems to be a point release update/upgrade - which requires the major release - which isn't on that site. It looks like this page has everything Apple released for free but nothing (OS at least) that was sold (or included with new machines).
