Gee, I hate to add more to the sudden bandwidth, but does this mean that
students taking an OS course now have to buy their own copy of Minix?
Or may the instructor still provide the copies for the purposes of the
course?

I really hope instructors can hand out copies to their OS students because
I don't think it's fair to make a student shell out $115 for 1 undergrad
semester -- now a grad semester I might be able to understand.
