! Mike,

! I was very surprised about your mail. Is it realy so hard to get one of this
! CD-ROM's? Well here's how I made it:
! 
! 1. write a letter by mail (snail-mail) to Neera Kuckreja at AT&T
! 2. explain why you need Plan 9, maybe what you especially want to do
! 3. give some information about your person (if you are at an university
!    give some information about your faculty)
! 4. after this Neera will send you an agreement. If you can agree to the
!    terms and conditions you sign it and send it back
! 5. some days later (in my case about 14 days) you will receive a parcel
!    from AT&T at your front-door
! 
! well that's it - ...abracadabra... - here's your CD-ROM. Sounds nice, but it's
! true!
!

My case  is perhaps  a bit more  complicated.  I am  not working  for an
University,  but am  a member  of  a Computer  Club (called  Eindhovense
Computer Associatie).  Yeah, they are  still popular in Europe (at least
in  the Netherlands).   And as  a member  of that  club (so  pure hobby)
interested in obtaining a Plan-9  licence for our club (non-profit, just
for  fun/education  organisation).   Therefor  I want  to  ask  you  the
following questions:

1) Is it possible for such an organisation to obtain a licence?
2) What are the costs involved?
