What is the legal status of Ultrix? I was interested in installing it on
a VaxStation just to see what DEC's own Unix-on-Vax was like, but I have
been unable to get hold of an original CD-ROM. I asked around at a few
former DEC using companies, but all they ever seem to have are large
amounts of VMS stuff. Am I correct in thinking I would be breaking both
DEC and USL's copyrights if I downloaded Ultrix stuff off of the web?
