Tim Bradshaw scripsit:
From memory (fairly old memory) if you had a Sun then
you had a
license to run SunOS. This possibly applies only to smaller machines
- certainly later on (in the Solaris era) you had to buy extra
licenses for machines with more than a few (1? 2?) processors.
Obviously that's not true any more.
The best available story for the Sun3 code is that Sun doesn't
object to non-commercial use (which certainly is not the same
as an open source license).
Of course you should check the license.
There's nothing to check -- in those days SunOS didn't come
with a machine-readable license.
