I'm a member of an group at MIT that I'm considering trying to
convince to purchase the CD distribution, but there's one major
question that I need answered first:
Can we have machines with the CD source code on it on the internet?
All our machines are directly on the net (no firewall), and we're not
likely to be willing to put up a plan 9 machine that isn't on the net
in the same way.
thanks,
chad

The operative phrase in the license is "made available on a computer
network external to you or your organization." The source can be
on a machine that's also on the internet (as ours is), but you have to
arrange that it's not accessible from outside.
In combination, permissions adjustment and limiting the namespace
visible to visitors should be sufficient.
