They didn't!!!

Oh, yes they did.

I have been worrying about this one since I have been hearing rumblings
that the different flavors of UNIX licenses from AT&T are being treated 
as completely separate products.

THERE IS NO CODE INTERCHANGEABILITY BETWEEN FLAVORS.

If there is a product developed using 68000 UNIX and you are licensed
for the Vax version, you are NOT entitled to see the software. Of course,
the converse also applies. The example that comes to mind right away -
if you buy a System V/68000 UNIX license, you are not licensed to
receive BSD software, which is based on Vax. To resolve this problem,
you would have to pay for an `additional CPU' license, another $16,000.
