UNSW stands for "University of New South Wales" (in NSW, Australia).
The last time I checked, UNSW Prolog was *not* public domain and *not*
copylefted.  It really might be a good idea to check with Claude Sammut
(claude@spectrum.eecs.unsw.oz) before shipping copies of UNSW Prolog around.
If it turns out that UNSW Prolog _can_ be copied freely these days, it
would be a good idea for someone to post a message to that effect.

There are at least two Prolog systems which _can_ be distributed:
(a) Stony Brook Prolog is reasonably Edinburgh-compatible, and is covered by
    a GNU-style copyleft.  It has extension tables and other nice things.
(b) Berkeley Prolog is covered by a Berkeley copyright but can be distributed;
    I haven't tried it out yet, but it looks Edinburgh-ish and has a state-of-
    the-art garbage collector.
