I've started working on shared libraries. However, I hesitate to continue
further on reverse engineering the OSF/1 /sbin/loader and shared library
stuff due to my concerns on licensing issues. I haven't examined the OSF/1
license, but any clause about not reverse engineering things will kill my
effort dead. I plan on diging the license text up later today, but has
anyone else examined it?
