When we've gotten licenses from AT&T, they are for a specific machine - you
even have to tell them what the serial number of the machine is.

Actually, if you are that interested in helping Microport fix a bug in
their product, it is my understanding that you can negotiate with them
(Microport) to be placed under their own source license as a consultant
or contractor.  AT&T does make allowances for things like this.  I bet
Microport would be willing to accept some free help from responsible
users.
