It was a special and a big mess and had a lot folks in AT&T legal
concerned - particularly because at the time, they were being investigated
by the US Justice Dept. But it was what forced the creation of the general
V7 redistribution license (and the crappy terms associated with it).
That was part of the solution - make sure anyone could get such a license
- but like the original research >use<< licenses AT&T made it clear that
were NOT marketing UNIX and it was NOT in the computer business. Each
vendor was on his/her own.
