I don't like the idea of focusing the group on versions of unix with 
source licences available for a number of reasons. Expensive source 
licences are available for new versions of unix. If the limitation is 
to an inexpensive hobbiest licence then a somewhat arbitrary price has 
to be set for inexpensive.  A second, and more important objection is 
that we are explicitly excluding users who want to use the free PDP-11 
unix binary licences. Finally, users of other vintage unixes with legal, 
binary only licences would be excluded.
