Thad mentioned that he did not know why BINARY for Korn Shell
costs $10K, while source rights are $3K....
The $3K gives you the right to use the source as you see fit
on a single machine. This is "Right To Use". The $10K puts
you in business to SELL the Korn Shell to others in Binary form.
Of course, the Toolchest prices are ALL YOU EVER PAY!
This means that for a lousy $13K, you can sell an UNLIMITED
number of copies, and never pay UNIX System Labs another cent
(once you pay the $13K). You have no royalties to pay on copies
EVER.
Not such a bad deal...
