Subject: PDP-11 UNIX Src Licenses Available

Hello, you are receiving this mail for one of the following reasons:

        + you signed a petition urging SCO to make source licenses for
          PDP-11 UNIX available

        + your filled in a survey detailing what you wanted in such a
          source license

        + you are a member of the PUPS mailing list

I am glad to announce that, as a result of the petition, SCO have made
source licenses available for most versions of PDP-11 UNIX. The essential
details of the license are:

        Covers research Editions 1 to 7, and 32V.
        Covers derived versions of UNIX which ran on PDP-11s.
        Specifically excludes System V onwards.
        Full source code, binaries and documentation.
        Personal, non-commercial use.
        Exchange of sources and modifications to other licensees.
        Non-disclosure to unlicensed people.

The cost is US$100. Details on how to obtain the license are available at

        http://minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au/PUPS/getlicense.html

SCO will not ship any media with this license. The PDP-11 Unix Preservation
Society has a number of volunteers who are prepared to cut CD-ROMs and tapes
in order to distribute the PUPS Archive of old Unix software to licensed
people. Details about this archive are available at

        http://minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au/PUPS/pupsfaq.html

We would like a few more licensed people to volunteer to create CD-ROMs and
tapes, to take the load off the existing volunteers.

Finally, none of this would have been possible without the immense support
which we received from Dion Johnson within SCO. He battled with the legal
eagles over a period of 18 months or so to make the license available. If
you can, please send Dion a thank you card at the address

        The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc.
        400 Encinal Street
        Santa Cruz, CA 95061-1900
        United States of America

        Attention: Dion Johnson

This will be a surprise for him, but I'm sure he will appreciate your
thanks.

In turn, I would like to thank you all for your support. Without the
signatures on the petition, none of this would have been possible.
