Recently I posted a message asking about the legalities of the proposed
sale of a modification to the unix kernel. I appreciate the people
who responded to the article. I really should have been more specific
about what I am trying to do. I have created a system of terminal
linking much like the one that exists on the Dec-20 running Tops-20.
This is done with minor modifications to the kernel. I think it could
be very useful for a teacher/student interaction type of situation
as well as many security reasons. In any case, I would like to distribute
this without having to go through the trouble of a unix commercial
license, etc. One suggestion I got was to offer it as a
consulting service, where a company wanting the system would
pay my company a certain amount of money to install it on their computer.
Of course this would only be good for a computer with sources. I
would be willing to do this, but I am still unsure as to the legalities.
I would appreciate any input anyone has on this.
Thanks,
