Oh, one other thing that springs to mind: I'm not sure Ultrix-32 is strictly
OK to have in the archive, either; when I first tried to buy an Ultrix source
license (for Ultrix 3.1 at that time, and then again for Ultrix 4.0) I was
told that I needed not a 32V license, which I had, but a SVR2 license, which
was basically unobtainable at that time, before DEC would sell me an Ultrix
source distribution. Did someone correct this misunderstanding before Ultrix
was placed in the archive?

You know this means that Net/2, 4.xBSD and
2.11BSD are all freely available
now :)
Not quite. Although it is obvious that UCB would intend those files to
be freely available, they never had a UCB license on their diffs from
32V per se.
It is my understanding that Kirk McKusick is working on getting this
rectified by the UCB people shortly.
