I'd feel a *lot* happier if we'd finally get confirmation from SCO
that they both know about this license and agree that it's genuine. I
was contacted by a reporter a week or so ago, and I told her about it.
She contacted Caldera, who pointed to
http://shop.caldera.com/caldera/ancient.html as the current valid
license agreement:
Hi,
What do you make of the SCO (Caldera) lawsuit?
Does it affect the archive in any way?
Assuming that the Caldera BSD-style license agreement for Ancient UNIX
is real (http://www.tuhs.org/Archive/Caldera-license.pdf) then it gives
us the right to freely distribute these systems. When I mentionned to SCO that they had released free
licenses to
ancient Unix, they said that that license was for non-commercial
use. When I mentionned the letter (January 2002) from Bill Broderick
that seemingly grants unemcumbered use of these ancient Unix
versions, SCO said that that is not the license agreement and that
they would send me the license agreement. Here it is:
http://shop.caldera.com/caldera/ancient.html
It appears that there has been such turnover in Caldera/SCO in the
last 15 months that they don't know what they have done.
