What about Phoenix, the Rice UNIX-under-VMS system. Wollongong sucessfully sued on the grounds that Rice had a Eunice license when they developed Phoenix. This strikes me is vaguely bogus, but I was careful to refuse a copy of TERMLIB when I was writing my own version for the same reason.

It was settled out-of-court. Wollongong got more or less what they wanted, but it NEVER went to court. NOTE: This is not an official opinion of Rice University or Baylor College of Medicine, but it is fact. -- Stan uucp:{ihnp4!shell,rice}!neuro1!sob Opinions expressed Olan ARPA:sob@rice.arpa here are ONLY mine & Barber CIS:71565,623 BBS:(713)660-9262 noone else's.
