And I'm curious - how are these issues handled
today? I ask remembering
that I once node-locked the software I sold on the SGI. What are the
repercussions for legacy hobbyists, when companies like SGI take a dive?
In that case, you either crack the license system or binary-patch around it.
If you still have the keys you used to create nodelocked licenses, you can make
a "any" license.
Further on the SGI note- is there any move to unofficially mirror official SGI
stuff, especially TechPubs and patches
"just in case"? Perhaps divide it up among several CCmp'ers.
