BAHAHAHAHAAAA!
Yes, at least for AIX v4.3. I am the only person I know of to
actually *get* that license from IBM and run it. It took 2 weeks and
probably 25 hours on the phone....
IBM historically has a "don't wanna know" attitude toward private,
non-commercial use of AIX. On partitioned systems running it for free a
little harder to do, but the bottom line is that IBM has *NO* mechanism
for selling (or providing in any way) AIX to private individuals.
Ask Cameron. :)
