[pups] STYX and 2.11BSD licensing

Couple of suggestions:

1.  Make a user account that automatically replies to email by sending a
user a copy of the SCO license and an automatically generated code,
which the user should then send back to be added to the src group.  I
could write a program for you.
2.  Make a program that checks whether a user is in the src group, if
not displays the SCO license, asks if the user accepts the license, if
so adds the user to the src group.  Problem is that this program should
be SUID...

I'll start working on the first suggested program rightaway.  Don't have
much else to do anyway ;-)
