For what it's worth, AT&T picked up Curtis' "tic" program for their S5R3
version of "curses", and distribute it as part of S5R3; the copyright
notice appears as is (complete with Curtis' paper-mail address and phone
number at Cornell...).  S5R3 source costs, if I remember, more than S5R2
source, but they don't specifically charge extra for his version of
"tic".  (I.e., there's no "'tic' package" that includes it.)

I don't know if they asked Curtis whether this was OK, or whether he
said "yes" or "no" or what.
