Berkeley wants a cut.  Two years ago, a license cost $1000 for the group
I was working with, WITHIN UC.

I doubt that AT&T considers a Toolchest source license equivalent to
a 32V license.  The 32V license was cheap, a short while ago, to
academic users: a fixed price (well under $1000) for any number of CPUs
in the same department requested at the same time.
