http://hardware.majix.org/computers/sgi/buyers-guide.shtml has a section
("IRIX") that discusses some of the IRIX license issues.

NetBSD runs fine on my O2, though I use a serial console rather than the
graphical console. I'd prefer to run FreeBSD but, last I heard on this
this, the port wasn't at a comparable level of development yet.
