In my years with OS/2, I bought old stuff that had those stickers on 
them, but by that time, OS/2 was, unfortunately, gone.  I also got a lot 
of stuff from former IBM workers at Boca and from Austin, who had 
actually developed/written the software.
I applaud you for not actually using, or giving the stuff away.  In the 
big scheme of things, some old software disks really don't matter, but 
one's personal ethics do.
