  Much of the dynamic adaptive work that I had done as an undergraduate and incorporated into CP67 was dropped in the morph to VM370. I was able to re-introduce much of the features in a separately priced Resource Manager kernel product.
  http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#fairshare
  
  Application software pricing had started with the 23Jun 69 unbundling announcement, but kernel software was still provided for free. Later, with a decision to start charging for kernel software, the resource manager was selected as the business guinea pig
