IRIX is not opensource/free software and a license is required. Either
purchase a license directly from SGI or buy one off eBay. Buying from
eBay wont give you a license to run it but at least you have original
media. Search usenet and read Alex Couseins threads on IRIX legalities
to get a picture on how the IRIX licensing works.
