Commodore UNIX, some questions

[danbeaver]

Although Unix is part of the SCO X/Open group, Linux is available as a more updated install over the 1980's version of System V R4.  My opinion only.

I have a (sort-of) insite on this subject. UNIX v1-7 (called "Ancient UNIX") are now open source, I'm running the SIMH PDP-11 emulator on a FreeBSD machine. It is running a clean install of UNIX v6 that was installed from a rip of a PDP-11 tape of the UNIX 6 distro. I don't think Amiga UNIX, like that of UNIX past v7 is free.

Open source has never meant "free" but under license. In essence the original Unix and subsequent developments form that source are "owned/licensed" but are in the Open Source domain which should include the Amiga version. Unix written for other hardware was not sold or transferred to the designers of that hardware but remained with the AT&T/Sun/BSD/SCO/XOpen group. You can use it, improve it, love it, but the software is not yours -- it remains open source and under license.
