On 19-Sep-98 Charles M. Hannum spoke unto us all:
# That's pretty bogus. R6.4 contains quite a few improvements (in
# particular, a smaller memory footprint and better colormap handling)
# that would be very useful.
Thier lisc. prevents us from shipping it in the OS, and using it like we
normally would.. it does not however prevent us from getting a little PR from
passing thier build tests, and maybe even shipping r6.4 as a pkg!
It would be really nice if we could stay abreast of these things and contact
people who are making announcements like this and get our name in on it!
