I think the phrase `successor systems' covers PWB, as PWB is derived
from 6th Edition. Yes, I suppose we could ask for Mini-UNIX, PWB,
Mert, RT and TS also to be added to the list.

SysIII is related to PWB and TS, which means both PWB and TS came
before SysIII and so are covered by the Caldera license.

I still have a number of PWB `things' in the archive: supposed releases,
parts of releases, etc. I need to sit down one day and try to reconstitute
a canonical release set from these bits and pieces.
