[comp.unix.amiga] Can I buy Amiga UNIX source code?

	Can a consumer buy the Amiga UNIX source code?  If so, how much $$?

	I am spoiled at work, having the Ultrix source code available 
whenever I need it.  And I need it a *lot*.

                                                        Dan

Last time I asked USL, a source licence (no redistribution) was $100,000.
Anyone with the money can buy it ;-), or, maybe :-(.  If C= wants to
provide their changes, and drivers to an EXISTING license holder they may
charge, or not.  Motorola used to charge about $40,000 for theirs.

I've asked USL about a "discount" fee for application developers, and others
who do not plan to redistribute the code.  Driver writers, etc.  No luck,
so far.
