You still need an AT&T source license for OSF/1 (the source, anyway), something more-or-less equivalent to a BSD4.3 source license (though I forget the exact requirements). Mach 3, which (one presumes) will form the basis of OSF/2 is publically available, or at least the micro-kernel and UNIX server are. The VAX specific code requires a BSD license, the Sun specific code requires a Sun license (I'm quoting from memory, I'm sure you've seen the annoucements :-) The i386 and mips dependent code does not require any special license and comes with the Mach 3 kit. If OSF plan to unencumber OSF/2 (or whatever) you'll have to talk to someone who can give you an official answer. -- John Haxby, Definitively Wrong.
