Yes, I agree with the above post. I remember it was around March 1994 Sun purchased the perpetual rights for 82.5 million dollars. Here is a small quote from the Sun announcement "Sun Microsystems, Inc. announced that it has reached an agreement that eliminates all royalty obligations to Novell for UNIX-based licensing, and is now released from distribution and licensing restrictions for Solaris and its technology components included in a prior 1987 agreement".
