	I've been told repeatedly by people that MINIX can be
distributed for educational purposes. My use is an educational
purpose: I'm taking a class on OS that is based around MINIX and
Tanenbaum's book. So does this mean that someone who has
AmigaMINIX is allowed to copy it for me?
	BTW, this is coming from the instructor of the class. I
certainly don't have $170 to spend on an OS I probably won't use
for more than 3 months, especially considering that I already
have the generic source code. What IS the story?

Now the world has gone to bed,		Now I lay me down to sleep,
Darkness won't engulf my head,		Try to count electric sheep,
I can see by infrared,			Sweet dream wishes you can keep,
How I hate the night.			How I hate the night.   -- Marvin
