Thanks, Graham.  I was aware of that.  You'll note that the URL I gave
for the Transarc client _is_ at ibm.com, and I'm familiar with the
licence history.  I'll add the openafs.org URL, though.  (Thanks for the
reminder.)

IBM still has a proprietary variant of the Transarc client software, in
addition to the OpenAFS one, or did when last I checked.  And, by the
way, there was a preexisting GPLed project called Arla, which has pretty 
much ceased being maintained since IBM created OpenAFS under the IBM PL.
