why would you need to archive FOSS?

Unless you can provide an argument about why TPP will damage FOSS this is wasted time and effort.

There are implications in the TPP license law that could result in FOSS becoming illegal

How much bullshit would you need to use to make FOSS illegal? Give me a tl;dr.

TL;DR We don't know how much TPP will actually do, but anything is possible. Save everything what could be useful.

I archive 1-3 FOSS programs for everything I do on my PC (music, video, coding, etc.)

My Gosh. If this is true. . .

In either case, it is my duty to make a source request for this.

In either case, I have archived a few programs with source. In many cases, it seems that it would just be helpful to make mirrors (even if inactive mirrors) of repositories for some distros, like Gentoo with the sources. The sources are all that really matter, anyway.

It's not that it will make it illegal, it will make it non-legal.

Basically, the GPL will be non-applicable and companies will be able to leech off open source, contributing nothing in return by making their derivatives closed source.

It is currently unknown if this applies to all software or just between countries.

Personally I'm downloading software that's likely to get nuked by the TPP for causing 'profit loss'. Emulators like pcsxr, and tools like libdvdcss.

DEFDIST (Defense Distributed) is a nonprofit digital publisher and 3D Printing R&D firm that has developed some of the world's first and most popular 3D Printable gun components. In May 2013, the US State Department ordered DEFDIST to remove their DEFCAD files, which were blueprints for 3D printable gun parts. Regardless of their blatant attempt to censor these files, mirrors of these files became available at The Pirate Bay and were impossible for the US government to shut down. The rest is history … the 3D printing projects and tests expanded, and went way beyond mere firearm parts to a full-blown war trove.
