I would just like to point out one little fact. UNIX as originally
developed by Bell Labs is not and has never been open source. If you intend
to sell a UNIX derivative based on System V code you owe Royalties to those
whom currently own the code.
As to all those windows users that you may think are out there to make your
life difficult.. Remember, that without them, you, me, and just about
everyone else on this list would be without a job.
