In article by Derrik Walker v2.0:
I've started porting some of the old UNIX
programs to Mac OS X. I've
got about 1/2 the games, that should be ok, but I also have other things
like crypt and makekey. I'd like to make these available in binary
form, but I don't want the men in black knocking at my door either...
Any thoughts?
On a side note, I simply can not believe how easy it is to compile this
old code under Mac OS X. for some of it, it's proving easier than
porting Linux code ( if you've only known how long I worked on linux's
fortune, and the old one just compiled no fuss, no problems ).
Also, if your wandering why ... that's easy, because I can.
Thanks.

Derrick, if it's code from 32V, 7th Edition or earlier, then you are
covered by the new Caldera Ancient UNIX license, and you can release
binaries and/or source. If it's code from any of the BSDs, then you
are covered by a standard BSD license, except for the bits which
Caldera can trace as belonging to them 8-)
Cheers,
