The release terms would need to be negotiated, it probably wouldn't run
on your hardware, and since it would be from an ancient version of the
kernel - the only SGI machine we still have is a hulking Challenge - many
binaries wouldn't work properly. ls, for one.

I've spent too much time trying to get SGI to let us spring our kernel loose.
I'm not spending any more.
