Maybe THAT's where AT&T *really* screwed up.) Berkeley wants a cut. Two years ago, a license cost $1000 for the group I was working with, WITHIN UC. I doubt that AT&T considers a Toolchest source license equivalent to a 32V license. The 32V license was cheap, a short while ago, to academic users: a fixed price (well under $1000) for any number of CPUs in the same department requested at the same time.
