BSDI was at Uniforum yesterday. Got some cool stuff from them. Anyway,
they won the first round in their fight with USL. I don't know the details,
but they guy that I talked to at the booth wasn't sure they'd have anything
to show at the show.
I have a price list. Here we go.
BSD/386 binaries with source $1095
Full function binaries $595
BSD/386 Laptop Binaries(subset of above) on 3.5" disks $595
Binary to Source upgrade $600
One year University Site License. $2000
One year of upgrades(no support) $195
One year EMAIL/FAX support + Upgrades $345
One year Telephone/EMAIL/FAX support + Upgrades $645
Bottom line, It ain't cheap. But, hey, They WON!! The first round
anyway.
