I hope Prentice-Hall quickly consult with some good
lawyers who specialize in software protection.

My feeling is that they should insist on a full $79
royalty per CPU for any use of any of MINIX on that
CPU.  No exceptions.

$79 is a piddling amount of money for sources for a
useful operating system.  How could anyone in his
right mind object to forking over the money?
