This comming Spring semester, a group of students here at SFU are working
on a robotics project.  We're looking for a Real-Time OS to run on our
processor (likely 80186) and a couple days ago one of my prof's mentioned
uCOS (mu-COS) as one that is freely re-distributable.  I asked him for 
any more info and he said that it's distributed through Compu$erve or by
calling (Long-Distance) a support BBS.

I have read the FAQ and didn't see any mention of this system.

Can anyone give me more info about this?  I understand it is a source
distribution, but what exactly is its legal status?  PD?  Shareware?
Commercial?  Copylefted?  Does it handle message-passing?  Semaphores?
Resource Encapsulation?  Is there an FTP site I can make an anonymous
FTP to?  Is there a newsgroup where it is discussed?

Thanks for any and all replys.  If there is an interest, I'll summarize
and post.
