I do not normally read this group, but someone here mentioned this
discussion to me.  Andy Tanenbaum has correctly summarised the case of
the minix shell.  Perhaps it would help if I simply add that his
further thoughts were correct:  I am not planning to do anything with
it myself, but I have no objection whatever to anyone else using it.
(Of course, you must use your own judgement as to its suitability for
any particular application; I provided it for use in an educational or
hobbyist environment, not for controlling aircraft or power stations.)
