The Part Number for this Source Product is: OWPS-2.0-X-X-5.
The source it NOT freely copiable... it is licensed for free, but the
licensee may not redistribute the source... or make it available via
ftp, etc...
The source is free, but you must buy the documentation and media
directly from a Sun distributor to get it. The $995 barely covers our
costs for producing and distributing the over 40 lbs of docs, not to
mention the cost of administering this release process. And once
you've paid this money you have an unlimited site license and "Right To
Use" agreement on all of the source.
To be eligible for a license you must fit one of these four categories:
o) SPARC archictecture hardware vendor.
o) SVR4 licensee.
o) non-unix platform developer (Amiga, MacOS, etc).
o) NeWS lisceneee prior to Oct, 1987.
This is an unsupported product, (i.e. you cannot call 1 800 USA-4SUN),
so we would prefer that you bought it through one of the "Master
Distributors" who will also support the product. A list of these
distributors will be announced shortly.
Hardware vendors may deliver OpenWindows binaries on their platform but
must pay royalties to Sun at the following schedule:
unit volume royalty/unit
0-500 $40
500-5,000 $35
5,000-10,000 $30
10,000-20,000 $25
20,000-50,000 $20
50,000-100,000 $15
100,000-500,000 $10
500,000+ $5
x-terminals are half price per seat.
f3 font's are for display only. Using xnews to drive printers (a la
NeWSprint) is not covered under this license agreement. Royalty
agreements may be arranged on a contractual basis with Sun.
