If anyone wonders, the license is still there (and I've reminded
the legal people about it a couple of times) and I would not
hope that anything would happen about it soon. Caldera is not
in the best shape and after the last few layoffs people have
their hands full with other things to do. In any case, the sar
cources are extremely UnixWare/OpenUNIX-oriented and I think
that it's easier to rewrite sar from the man page than try to port
it.
