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) -- "Nations go to war over women like you, it's just a form of appreciation..."
