One question has just struck me. Presumably version 2 by defaults remains
under the license it was released with. Is it preposterous to expect the
new terms to be appled retroactively to those of us who have access to it?
There are a number of elements of the 1995 release that were provided
only under the terms of that release. For example, the sources for the
NeXTstation were made available, after much negotiation, provided that
we were producing a limited number of CDs for strictly non-commercial
distribution. A number of things, including the NeXTstation sources, are
not available in the third release because the required permission could
not be obtained to make them available under an open source license.
Another example is the RNGC2000.0 database.
In other words, the new license does not apply to the version 2, 1995
release of Plan 9. The open source license is not retroactive.
