For those organizations that are still holding out with a 32V license for
4.x bsd releases the current source license upgrade fee to SVR3.0 is $24K.
That price is from AT&T Software Licensing as of last week. An additional
piece of info is that AT&T will not let you upgrade your 32V source license
to some past AT&T source license level greater than 32V but less than SVR3.0;
e.g. SVR2.1. All source license upgrades must be to the SVR3.0 level. This
means that even if Berkeley says that you only need SVR2.1.1 source license
compliance for the next bsd release, you will have to pay for a source license
upgrade to SVR3.0 if you currently have a 32V source license.
