What open source would you preserve with 1GB?

Question

Given the impact open source has had, particularly over the past twenty five years, it would be a shame if some of it fell into the ether.If you had, say, one gigabyte of space to preserve open source software for future generations, what would you include?Most interested in open source software, but feel free to include other ideas.

Google's homepage, of course. So you have unlimited access to everything else! :-)
The prank worked with my sister in law a few years ago, when CDs were still a thing.
On a more serious vein, I think I'd preserve, all Fabrice Bellard's programs.

Assuming I can compress the source code: Linux, Emacs, python.Assuming I can't compress: the source code for gzip and then the gzipped archives of the software cited earlier :)
