I'm sure that AT&T's lawyers have made the necessary contractural
arrangements with all providers of software that AT&T will be
distributing.  I'm also sure that they're not going to disclose
the details of any such arrangement just because you're curious
about it.  The pricing for SVR4 has not yet been announced.

The implied accusation of theft that lies behind your questions
is, to the best of my knowledge (and I do have some inside
knowledge) unfounded and demands an apology.
