Actually, Unix edition 5 was free from Bell Labs, at least to universities. There was even a microUnix which was supposed to run on what were then called micro-computers. But I never heard of anyone actually getting it (microUnix) to run. I recall getting Unix edition 5 on a tape from Bell labs, with a note attached that the tape was not guaranteed to contain anything. But I didn't think AT&T were allowed to charge anyone for Unix. I thought there was a legal agreement that AT&T must not sell software, and IBM must not enter telecommunications. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
