AT&T Plan 9 announcement

[Lawrence.V.Cipriani]

         AT&T ANNOUNCES *** AT&T today announced that Plan 9, a new 
         computer operating system from AT&T Bell Laboratories, is now 
         available for research and educational use.  The Plan 9 operating 
         system, named for the science-fiction cult movie "Plan 9 From 
         Outer Space," was designed by the inventors of the UNIX system, a 
         widely used operating system created at Bell Labs 25 years ago.   
         "Plan 9 is not in competition with UNIX or Windows," said Paul 
         Fillinich, marketing manager for AT&T Software Solutions.  The 
         Plan 9 system is based on the concept of distributed computing in 
         a networked, client-server environment.  The product, including 
         source code, is available for $350.  The full kit will be shipped 
         with a CD-ROM, four diskettes and two manuals.  A partial kit, 
         containing only the manuals, may be ordered separately for $125.  
         The contact number in the U.S. for information and orders is 800-
         462-8146; elsewhere, +1-415-943-4076.

Does this mean that upon purchasing the "Full Kit" I will hold a
"Source License for this product"...

Does anyone have the Legal Speak as to what I can do with this
"Source License"???
