Subject: [PUPS] Change of PUPS Mail-list software
Message-ID: <200110010616.f916GI591755@minnie.tuhs.org>

All,
	I'm thinking of switching from Majordomo to Mailman for the mailing
lists run on minnie.tuhs.org. I thought I'd try it out on the PUPS mailing
list to start with, because it is so quiet, and also to maybe get some
postings going again.

Mailman has several advantages:
	- list archives are created and have a web interface
	- subscribers can easily change their details
	- list management can also be done via the web.

You can go to http://minnie.tuhs.org/mailman/listinfo/pups
to use the web interface to change your subscription.

If things don't seem to be working, please let me know at my
e-mail address of wkt at tuhs.org

Cheers,
	Warren

Thanks for the heads-up Johnathan. It looks like the license is
unchanged, so for now we're ok. But I should contact someone
there & see if we can open it up a bit more :)

Yes, there is no change to the license - all that happened is that
the web pages finally got moved across to the caldera.com domain.

I agree that the current license is *way* too complex - it's still
effectively just a cut down version of an old AT&T / SCO source
license - I would love to just get all of it "open-sourced" and
made completely freely available (might still have to be restricted
to non-commercial use, though).

I'll see if I can make any progress on this, but unfortunately it
isn't going to be very high on anyone's priority list right now.

Message-ID: <20011031065211.I43175-100000@server2.cs.scranton.edu>

I know this is somewhat off topic, but there is a connection.

I am trying to track down a copy of the distribution of:
   The Software Tools Virtual Operating System

The last known repository of the complete system was apparently USENIX.
They have been unable to find a copy anywhere up to this point, so I'm
asking here as there must be many long time members in this group.

Does anyone still have a copy of this and could I possibly get it??
I really need to find a copy for a project I want to work on.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

bill
