They give you the source to the driver at least, but you are up
a creek with respect to the host end software if you are not running
System V and/or you are not a VAX.  I think enough people beat on
AT&T at the conference that they are probably going to do something
reasonable like source license the software for some astronomical
price like they currently do for OEM copies of the OS.

It could be worse, ever look at IBM software prices and licensing?

If source is outlawed, only outlaws will have source.
