I think the conclusion after the last license war was that there were
no conflicts with the BSD license. I thought they were adopting a dual
license on it, but I don't care if it's GPL-compatible or not :-).
Many universities (including mine) use it.

Some more from the Release notes:
_________________
*The OpenAFS source code is currently available on the following
platforms: AIX 4.2, Digital/Compaq UNIX 4.0, Red Hat Linux 6.2,
Solaris 2.6 and 2.7, and Windows NT 4.0. 

*For backup, the default is for OpenAFS to compile without XBSA
support. To compile with XBSA support, you need to install the TSM
(Tivoli Storage Manager/ADSM) API version 3.7.1. 

*The OpenAFS for Windows NT source code contains everything you need
to build the product except: 1) the Microsoft DDK include files and 2)
InstallShield. Please see the note about OpenAFS for Windows NT
(below) for information on how to get the necessary components to
build OpenAFS for Windows NT. 

*The AFS/NFS Translator and AFS/DFS Translator source code is not
available. 

*Fsck code is available only on the Digital UNIX platform. There is no
fsck available on AIX or Solaris platforms. 

*The OpenAFS source code has not been tested; however, we have done
successful builds on all of the platforms included in this release
(adding in the 2 pieces detailed below for the OpenAFS for Windows NT
build).

cheers,

    Pedro.
