[TUHS] Unix Tenth Edition ownership?

[James Falknor]

To all Unix Officiando's,

    Who has ownership of Unix Tenth Edition?

    Has anybody tried contacting the current owner for it's release 
under an OSI approved license?


Thank you,
James Falknor

Norman Wilson is the custodian of Tenth Edition. He would like to donate
a copy to the archives, but 10e contains quite a lot of material gathered
from many places, and the task of tracking down all the copyright owners
and getting permission would be an arduous task. Norman reads the list, so
he may respond with a more detailed comment.

With all due respect, may I suggest that this list is precisely the sort of 
resource necessary for tracking down copyright ownerships?

After all, we do have a good number of subscribers who were there at the ealry 
stages of Unix(R)(T[F]M).  (I wasn't - I was a high-schoold student at Deakin 
High, Canberra at the time Prof Lions was writing his Commentary, and the 
nearest _we_ got to computers was an Apple II we got in 1978 - and it was 
mostly used for games. ;)  Sad but true. ;^)

I'm sure we're up to it.  Just ask us.
