Having just finished finals, I have had a chance to be a real person
once again.  I noticed in a recent (late November) issue of EDN that the
Open Software Foundation is announcing that they will release their
OSF/1 kernel very soon.  It also listed the cost to get a copy of this
software.  I seem to remember $5000 for a single user license w/o any
source code!

I'm not sure, but I thought that maybe OSF == GNU.  Please correct me if
I'm wrong.  If this is true, I don't have any hope for a free full
V.4/BSD Unix ever coming out.  (I sincerly hope I'm wrong.)
