In order to demonstrate a desire in the Unix community that these sort of source licenses be made available, I have set up the following short questionnaire. If you'd like to be able to purchase a PDP-11 UNIX source license, please complete the questionnaire. I will eventually summarise the results and pass them onto SCO.
The license cannot be be passed or sold to another person or organisation.
The license restricts you from redistributing the source or binaries to another
person or organisation.
The license permits you to install UNIX on a PDP-11 but only allow a single user
of the system.
The license permits you to install UNIX on a PDP-11 but not use the system for commercial
purposes.
The license allows you to acquire the binaries for UNIX on a PDP-11, but only
the source code for the kernel.
Alternatively, the license allows you to acquire the binaries for UNIX on a PDP-11, and the complete source code for the kernel and all of the libraries and applications.
Which versions of PDP-11 UNIX would you like to have a source license for (choose at least one)?
Research Versions before
5th Edition
5th Edition UNIX
6th Edition UNIX
7th Edition UNIX
2.x BSD UNIX
Other versions (please specify):
How much money (in US dollars) would you be prepared to pay to obtain the UNIX source license with the conditions and versions you selected above?
If SCO does make PDP-11 UNIX source licenses available and you would like to be informed of their availability by email, please fill in your email address below. This information will not be used for any other purpose.
Thank you for filling out this questionnaire. Please submit your answers now so they are registered in the archive.
