You are right, I have been corrected on this.  The MKS programs are MKS'
unique implementations that faithfully implement the functionality of
the AT&T kits.  My source (to go un-named, he's even more embarrased than
I am) was actually speaking of a ksh from Aspen Software (I think -
after this I'm not going to stick m_y_ neck out again).

The point I made after this stupidity is still valid, however - the
original poster was asking about whether or not AT&T licensed their
software products for re-sale to markets other than Unix.  The answer is
yes they do.
