www.oldversion.com is probably one of the first places you should seek for really old stuff.

and it's your lucky day:

Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.

Might be cool, but going below 3.0.14 when operating a site is just going to result in you missing features you likely would take for granted nowadays.

And even really old versions of phpBB3 I wouldn't use, unless I wanted to play with it on an offline server.

Downloading an old version of phpBB is one thing.
Getting it to run on a recent PC will also require an old PWS (with a PHP version suited for phpBB 1.4.4).
Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.
