I thought that when Microsoft sold Xenix, that they were prohibited from ever again selling Unix.
m$ doesn't always sell the things they license, for example in the early days of the browser wars m$ licensed spyglass (I believe) browser aggreeing to give spyglass x amount for each copy m$ sold. Well m$ turned around and gave away free copies of the software, since they hadn't actually sold the software they owed spyglass nothing. - -- dh Don't shop at GoogleGear.com! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+yOzyBwgxlylUsJARAjtpAJ0TAB+WKSd6vSUbx0FBueCyBXUqEgCfcqZu 2Sp4c/BkjgeuYCvy2kXp9gU= =Znw9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
