Not quite free. I looked into getting BSD for a PDP-11 that someone was giving away. True the OS was cheap, but you needed an AT&T source code license first. That costs $65,000 for the first CPU! Granted, if you work for an institution that already has an AT&T source code license, you may be covered by that license. My info is ~1 year old, but I don't expect that anything changed. Rich
