Reading /. today I ran across plan9 again and did
some googling. Found the download section which was
amusing/disturbing:
To download the software [plan9], you must fill out this form:
Mandatory:
I acknowledge that
* the software is not intended for use by a government end-user
except those in the United States, Canada, the European Union,
Australia, Norway, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Japan,
Switzerland, and New Zealand. (government end-users are defined in
part 772).
* I understand that the cryptographic software is subject to
export controls under the Export Administration Regulations.
* I understand that I cannot export the software without a
license or other authorization.
* I will not be using Plan 9 in the creation of weapons
of mass destruction to be used by nations other than
the US.
Egads. WMD?
Anybody ever try plan9? There was a claim on /. that OpenBSD wants to
use the plan9 C compiler but have problems with the license (which
I can see might be a problem for them).
