The $15K figure is the Commerical source license price. The stuff in the SPD describing the source license option doesn't seem to have changed and the Educational Source order number should be something like QA-OBK*-**. I hope your DEC salesbeing was simply confused and some further exploration will clear up the matter... Does anybody know what the deal is on "Risc" source licences? Not available yet, will be the same as VAX next time around, or sorry no source? -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing arpa: cbmvax!grr@uunet.uu.net Commodore, Engineering Department fone: 215-431-9255 (only by moonlite)

Do you have BSD and SV source licenses? Part of workstation consortium? These would greatly influence your ability to purchase source at low cost.

I have been told, pretty informally, that source will be available
at "the next major release". I asked, "Does that mean 3.2 or 4.0?"
Reply: "Er, mumble, 3.2, I think."
It is not clear whether this will be a merged VAX/RISC source; I
don't think my local contact understood the question.
Another question, when the time comes when Ultrix is released on
one CD-ROM, will this include source, I wonder?
