Hey guys, has anyone looked at an ATT UNIX System V, Release 2.0 Version 1
schedule (price list) lately? YOU CAN SUBLICENSE SOURCE LICENSES! Leaving
aside initial overhead, you can get a 1-32 user system source license for:

	$1000!

The initial overhead is pretty steep, $43,000 for the first CPU and
$25,000 for the initial sublicensing fee, and $16,000 for the second
CPU. But the third and subsequent CPUs qualify for the $1000 price.
Why don't you get 84 people together, form a company, and sell genuine
AT&T source licenses for $2,000 (or less).

(guess I'll be roasted if I get this wrong)
