I have just been told that AT&T have gotten their act together over the
issue of educational liscences. They do listen.

Here is the basic scheme:

	AT&T will be providing a sublicensing agreement at no initial
	fee to the educational market with a $25 royalty. This will
	be in addition to the $300 source fee.

The arithmetic looks reasonable to me: $300 for a source + $25 per extra CPU.

There will be an official announcement to that effect (with all the
appropriate legalese) as soon as paper copies can be produced and
distributed. It also appears that they have done a decent job of
minimizing the paper work.

The scheme will take effect in about 10 days. Please don't badger your
AT&T rep before that. They will not be able to do anything before that
anyway - and might not have any more facts available than you find in
this notice.
