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, #Ron {ihnp4, decvax!genrad}!mit-eddie!ronnie ronnie@mit-mc.arpa
