In general if you have a problem with vendor-supplied software and no
source license, it's time to call your vendor.  If you don't like your
vendor's support, you should have picked another vendor (or sprung
roughly $50K for the source license).  Without legal sources, all we can do
for you is explain the problem, not fix it.

There are at least three or four people who know enough to rewrite uucp
in the public domain (Bell owns the "real" one).  One of them claims to
have done so -- Lauren Weinstein.  However, he wants to make some money
on it before (if ever?) releasing it to the public domain.  Last I
heard of any progress on it was about a year ago.  What's up Lauren?
