[comp.sys.next] Source code in escrow

Our university is still negotiating our contract with NeXT.
One of the items under discussion is our request that NeXT place
its source code in escrow, so we'd have an out if NeXT went belly-up.
(This isn't meant to be an insult to NeXT; the request, as I understand
it, comes from non-Computer Center legal types & it's something they've
done with other vendors in the past.)

Has any other site gotten NeXT to agree to this?
