Chad (yandros@mit.edu) wondered

  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.

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.
