Something like that may be a factor in the S1500. I have a running
system, but not with the full kit. No dev tools, no sources, no DNIO,
(for interfacing with DX10 and DNOS filesystems on 990s.), no TCP/IP,
and a few other things.
At one point the maintainer was offering source and binary
licenses, though for rather princely sums, as far as a hobbyist would
be concerned. I no longer see them on their website, but presumably
they're still available. If, however, they can be *sold* without
constraints from the current Unix owner, I would hope they could just as
well be opened up, and I would hope a similar argument could apply to
the OpenVMS situation.

After HP bought TI's DSG lines, TI SysV was eventually turned
over to a 3rd party, who has so far been unresponsive to my
inquiries about possible hobbyist licensing, either binary or
source. Evidently S1500's may still in use somewhere, unless I'm
just the wrong person asking, or the maintainer simply no longer
has the time, having moved on to newer platforms. In which case,
why not a FOSS release? I understand it's his baby, but still...
Oh, well, I guess there's always the Linux port I was working on
off and on. Hate to have to reinvent the DNIO stuff when I don't
even have the binaries, but there you go.
I assume SysV means Unix SysV. ?Unless there has been a change
I have not heard about nothing newer than V7 has been released
for use by the holders of the Unix IP. ?I have a copy of that
somewhere.
