I thought this might interest some of the people interested in Linux.

"MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 21, 1997--Tapping 
into the rich knowledge base of universities and colleges, Sun 
Microsystems, Inc. today said it will make the source code for its 
Solaris(TM) operating environment, the industry's leading version of 
UNIX(R), available virtually free of charge -- for research and study
purposes -- to the higher education community around the world.  
   The source code will be offered free to customers who purchase an
additional product from Sun.  By providing the source code on this 
complimentary basis, Sun not only gives university researchers and 
students hands-on experience with Solaris source code, but will help 
ensure that future versions of Solaris benefit from the latest 
innovation and research at the world's top computer research labs..."
