My understanding of the AT&T stand on binary licenses is that EVERY provider
of binaries to a single system must pay the proper license fee... IE:

	Vendor 1 provides UNIX kernel and basic set of utilities pays first
	royalty fee.

	Vendor 2 provides C, F77, assembler, ld, and vi pays second fee.

	Vendor 3 provides UUCP pays third fee.

	A source site which provides binaries without a binary sublicense
agreement and payment of fees is in violation of their license.

Please correct me if I'm wrong ... this is the example I used at a USENIX
meeting several years back in questions to a WeCo speaker ... their statement
of multiple fees was clear ... of course things do change for the better
every once and a while ...
