Recently I posted a message asking about the legalities of the proposed
sale of a modification to the unix kernel.  I appreciate the people
who responded to the article.  I really should have been more specific
about what I am trying to do.  I have created a system of terminal
linking much like the one that exists on the Dec-20 running Tops-20. 
This is done with minor modifications to the kernel.  I think it could
be very useful for a teacher/student interaction type of situation
as well as many security reasons. In any case, I would like to distribute
this without having to go through the trouble of a unix commercial
license, etc.  One suggestion I got was to offer it as a
consulting service, where a company wanting the system would
pay my company a certain amount of money to install it on their computer.
Of course this would only be good for a computer with sources.  I
would be willing to do this, but I am still unsure as to the legalities.
I would appreciate any input anyone has on this.

			Thanks,
