Remember The Heathkit HERO? Check Out '912'
moorley writes "The 912 Mobile Platform built by White Box Robotics based on VIA motherboards as part of their PC Bots program. Still in prototype but they are projecting to have it out by Summer 2004. They have no prices yet, but estimate 'building or buying the 912 for about the cost of a decent PC.'"

You were granted under Para. 2.01 of the Agreement:
[A] personal, nontransferable and nonexclusive right to use

Your limitations on use and other obligations under the Agreement include the following:
Para. 2.05. No right is granted by this Agreement for the

anyone, except to employees of Licensee to whom such
disclosure is necessary to the use for which rights are
granted hereunder. Licensee shall appropriately notify each
employee to whom such disclosure is made that such
disclosure is made in confidence and shall be kept in
confidence by such employee.

Para. 7.10. [N]othing in this Agreement grants to Licensee

Required Certification Re: Use of UNIX
You are also obligated to certify proper use of the Software Products by you under the
Agreement, as required by the following Para. 2.04 2.05:
On [SCO's] request, but not more frequently than annually,
Licensee shall furnish to SCO a statement, certified by an
authorized representative of Licensee, listing the location,

subject to this Agreement has been reviewed and that each
such Software Product is being used solely on such
Designated CPUs (or temporarily on back-up CPUs) for
such Software Products in full compliance with the
provisions of this Agreement. (Emphasis added.)
Accordingly, SCO requires written certification by your authorized representative
under Para. 2.04 within 30 days of receipt of this letter. Such written certification must
include statements that:

Dude, you've got some sort of icky... erm... cruft stuck there in your Markov chain generator. It's really putting me off my lunch.
Seriously now. Ick. Brush that crap out. And stop letting your botware out on the town at night. Listen to your momma. You don't want none of this.
You're scaring off all the regular Johns and makin' my women unhappy. And when my bitches are unhappy, I'm unhappy. And when I'm unhappy, I'll make you very unhappy. Unless of course dental pliers and military grade psychopharmaceuticals make you happy, then have at it. Just don't be wailin' and cryin' when I come to collect my new cracker-tooth necklaces, right?
And you do know that the goatse.cx domain is history, right?
