From wkt at minnie.tuhs.org Mon Oct 1 16:16:18 2001 From: wkt at minnie.tuhs.org (Warren Toomey) Date: Mon, 1 Oct 2001 16:16:18 +1000 (EST) Subject: [PUPS] Change of PUPS Mail-list software Message-ID: <200110010616.f916GI591755@minnie.tuhs.org> All, I'm thinking of switching from Majordomo to Mailman for the mailing lists run on minnie.tuhs.org. I thought I'd try it out on the PUPS mailing list to start with, because it is so quiet, and also to maybe get some postings going again. Mailman has several advantages: - list archives are created and have a web interface - subscribers can easily change their details - list management can also be done via the web. You can go to http://minnie.tuhs.org/mailman/listinfo/pups to use the web interface to change your subscription. If things don't seem to be working, please let me know at my e-mail address of wkt at tuhs.org Cheers, Warren From wkt at minnie.tuhs.org Tue Oct 23 12:49:29 2001 From: wkt at minnie.tuhs.org (Warren Toomey) Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2001 12:49:29 +1000 (EST) Subject: [pups] Re: Free UNIX licenses In-Reply-To: <001301c15b6e$62b2cde0$49e01840@rcs.ra.rockwell.com> from Jonathan Engdahl at "Oct 22, 2001 10:56:58 pm" Message-ID: <200110230249.f9N2nTj39846@minnie.tuhs.org> In article by Jonathan Engdahl: > It looks like the SCO free UNIX license page moved: > http://shop.caldera.com/caldera/ancient.html > > I hope Caldera continues the free license policy. Thanks for the heads-up Johnathan. It looks like the license is unchanged, so for now we're ok. But I should contact someone there & see if we can open it up a bit more :) Warren From michael_davidson at pacbell.net Tue Oct 23 13:32:33 2001 From: michael_davidson at pacbell.net (Michael Davidson) Date: Mon, 22 Oct 2001 20:32:33 -0700 Subject: [pups] Re: [TUHS] Re: Free UNIX licenses References: <200110230249.f9N2nTj39846@minnie.tuhs.org> Message-ID: <3BD4E4D1.19013395@pacbell.net> Warren Toomey wrote: > > In article by Jonathan Engdahl: > > It looks like the SCO free UNIX license page moved: > > http://shop.caldera.com/caldera/ancient.html > > > > I hope Caldera continues the free license policy. > > Thanks for the heads-up Johnathan.

I agree that the current license is *way* too complex - it's still effectively just a cut down version of an old AT&T / SCO source license - I would love to just get all of it "open-sourced" and made completely freely available (might still have to be restricted to non-commercial use, though). I'll see if I can make any progress on this, but unfortunately it isn't going to be very high on anyone's priority list right now.

I am trying to track down a copy of the distribution of: The Software Tools Virtual Operating System The last known repository of the complete system was apparently USENIX. They have been unable to find a copy anywhere up to this point, so I'm asking here as there must be many long time members in this group. Does anyone still have a copy of this and could I possibly get it?? I really need to find a copy for a project I want to work on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. bill -- Bill Gunshannon | de-moc-ra-cy (di mok' ra see) n. Three wolves bill at cs.scranton.edu | and a sheep voting on what's for dinner.
