Heh, heh. Sounds like the blind pencil seller
on the street corner selling pencils for $1,000,000 apiece.
``You won't sell many pencils at that price'' says the
passerby. ``I only have to sell one'' says he.
There is no fixed price for a commercial license (i.e.
a license which lets the buyer resell products or services
based on the released software). We will wheel and
deal with anyone that wants to consider it. We've floated a
few prices but nothing is tacked down since it does
depend on the what is being resold, support expected,
etc. Ee might settle for a little up front and a piece
of the action or a lot up front and nothing else.
Contact the AT&T Software Solutions Group to haggle:
1-800-462-8146 or 1-415-943-4076.
Of course companies can use Plan 9 internally on as many
computers as they like for $350 total.
