All this talk about RT-11, RSX-11M,RSTS/E licensing
details is making me
wonder. If I acquired a PDP-11 of some kind, and it came with RSX-11M and/or
RT-11 and or/ RSTS/E, would I have to have a license? I know a license is
legally required, but is it essential in running the OS? Does the OS have
any way of checking for one? What is required for running the OS? I really
don't know anything about the PDP-11 family.
Thanks,
Owen
You wouldn't have a license unless you managed to get the previous owners
license transfered to you. Which among other things would require proof
that they had a license.
