AT&T licensing is on a per CPU license. Those 40-80 hackers all need to be able to share a single computer, or do something to allow multiple CPU's (#2 is, I believe $16K, #3-n $1k under contractors provisions). Otherwise, you're STILL illegal. You know, I remember way back in the good old days when we talked about technical issues in unix-wizards. I'm glad the net is working so well now we don't need to anymore.... -- From the ministry of silly talks: Chuq Von Rospach {allegra,cbosgd,decwrl,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo}!nsc!chuqui nsc!chuqui@decwrl.ARPA Vote for the fascist of your choice, but vote!
