Did DEC really jerk people around so badly by selling the FCS or RMS

Can't answer for DEC, but SCO
certainly had things broken up into huge
numbers of parts, some that made no sense had separate licenses.
When you were loading SCO you'd get 30 or 40 floppies for a full system.
I suspect that other systems loaded from floppies, which were even
smaller than the ones SCO was distributed on might have had even more,
and you might not have them all.? Just speculating though.
thanks
