I saw a note over on comp.os.cpm this morning saying that Tim Olmstead has
succumbed to his cancer and passed away. Since the Caldera license to
distribute CP/M was in his name, this will affect the free distribution
of CP/M until someone can pry a new license out of Caldera.

Why can't someone simply inherit Tim's license and pass it on to someone
else who is willing to take over? Is it non-transferrable?

Shit. There goes a great one folks. He was a good friend to me and to
many others. He will be missed. Greatly.
As far as Caldera is concerned, if they have any questions they can
contact me. I've mirrored Tim's stuff on the Retrocomputing Archive and
there it will stay.
