	Thad mentioned that he did not know why BINARY for Korn Shell
	costs $10K, while source rights are $3K....

	The $3K gives you the right to use the source as you see fit
	on a single machine.  This is "Right To Use".  The $10K puts
	you in business to SELL the Korn Shell to others in Binary form.

	Of course, the Toolchest prices are ALL YOU EVER PAY!

	This means that for a lousy $13K, you can sell an UNLIMITED
	number of copies, and never pay UNIX System Labs another cent
	(once you pay the $13K).  You have no royalties to pay on copies
	EVER.

	Not such a bad deal...
