Aron,
	In response to presby.170:

A *binary* UNIX license is adequate for getting BSD only if it is
a binary license based upon 32v, System III or System IV.  (I don't
know of any 32v redistribution agreements, however.)  As far as
System III licenses for a particular machine class, a license (any UNIX
license) is not for a particular machine class but for a particular
machine.  You could license your Cray-1 for UNIX Version 6.  The license
implies what software you can run on what machine.  When ordering
System III/IV, the distinctions between machines are used to help
them determine which tapes and boot instructions to send you.

Hope this helps.
