Since you work for AT&T, you won't have a problem.  You probably have a
corporate System- V source-code license :-) :-) :-).

You also probably have a Berkeley license but if you don't it's no big deal.
Since you don't have to give AT&T $60,000, giving UCB their small license fee
is trivial.  Send mail to <bostic@okeeffe.berkeley.edu>, he can give you a
pointer toward the administrative types who accept checks and make tapes and
so on.

For anyone outside of AT&T, there is a very good reason not to run BSD on the
proposed 32K supermicro I've been watching you all try to design by committee:
you have to give AT&T some medium single-digit number of tens of thousands of
dollars before Berkeley can let you have their stuff.  This is because Berkeley
started out with Research V32 way back when; though Berkeley is sifting through
their code looking for non-AT&T-derived stuff, you pretty much need the whole
thing (that is, including the AT&T-derived stuff) to have a usable kernel.

(Personal opinions only, I don't speak for my employer.)
