Just a quickie this one ... if you are on a site and have _legitimate_
access to UNIX source code is it legal for you to recompile it under
Minix and use it ?


I assume that if you did this then it would be illegal to distribute the
binaries, but if it is legal just to use them yourself then would it be
worth posting patches to allow people with access to source to use it on
their machines.

Its probably very dodgy I know - but if not then it could be usefull.
