Message-ID: <1993Jan13.083904.14601@email.tuwien.ac.at> Organization: Technical University of Vienna References: <C0q94w.48p@NeoSoft.com> <id.QJNW._89@ferranti.com> <1993Jan13.050106.28871@fcom.cc.utah.edu> Date: Wed, 13 Jan 1993 08:39:04 GMT Lines: 11 I am somewhat surprised that nobody mentioned the term `licensing' here yet; but probably these days it is better not to talk about licensing and 386BSD in the same sentence :-) Anyway, if I need DOS to boot 386BSD, I will definitely need to pay for a DOS license - something which sounds to me quite contrary to one of the original goals of 386BSD.
