Nobody, not even Dennis Ritchie, knows how to get a license for any of 
these.
Hopefully, when the Unix source finishes its current migration to SCO 
and HP,
we can ask them for an answer.

P.S Back from holidays, the machine minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au died (out of 
swap)
on Saturday, and I've just rebooted her, so the mailing list is back up.
I've also moved 2.11BSD into the ftp archive on henry.cs.adfa.oz.au. 
Thanks
to Steven Schultz for the copy.

Cheers,
	Warren
