This is not quite true. First of all, OSF/1 still has AT&T source code in it; as a result, you need a SysVr3.1 (I think) source code license before you can get source code. OSF/2, if/when it comes out, will still not be cheap: I suspect the source licensing will be on the order of several tens of thousands of dollars. And, of course, you're assuming that SCO will make any changes they make available at a resonable cost. This also is not necessarily a true assumption. -- Sean Eric Fagan | "I made the universe, but please don't blame me for it; sef@kithrup.COM | I had a bellyache at the time." -----------------+ -- The Turtle (Stephen King, _It_) Any opinions expressed are my own, and generally unpopular with others.
