Considering (a) UNIX is free for i386/i486 machines now,
that part of the royalties might go away in a year or two. 
I'll admit 386bsd is buggy and short on features, but
we've been working with it here and think it'll be up to
snuff in a few months.  It'll probably be up to "End User"
quality inside of 2 years.
