I've read UNIX contracts, and I should know better. You are both correct. No one may supply licensed UNIX software to another site without the appropriate redistribution license *and* relicensing of the destination machine. My apologies for the error. <csg>

I'll be SO freaking glad when I can get GNU going and just write off AT&T for good. Seems like the only profitable product they have is UNIX, and they're just clamping down on those screws for all they're worth. The day I can kick them and their fancy-ass lawyers out my door for good is going to be a happy day indeed.
