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....
