  Just a note to everyone to be careful with those licenses.  While they do
exist and are valid they sometimes have goofy restrictions like where the
machine with the source code may reside and stuff like that.  When I was doing
some poking with 2.9BSD on a Pro350 at Guelph we had to be pretty careful
about the machine's location.  For example, it couldn't be taken home.
  Now I know some people don't care about such things but I figured I'd
mention it.
