	That this should have to be the case is perhaps the strongest
reason why I wouldn't consider buying a system without source (when we
recently had to decide between Sun and Sequent, Sequent lost largely
because they wouldn't release source for a reasonable price).  This is also
on of the strongest reasons why I don't think Unix is really going to make
it as a commercial system (the current rash of commercial ports of Unix
notwithstanding).
