RT-11 is licensed software. In order to run a copy of it, you need
a license. The company which owns and distributes RT-11 now is
Mentec, Ltd. (mentec.com). The latest version of RT-11 is V5.7.
It is possible to obtain earlier versions (earler than V5.3), but
by license they may only be run using a specific pdp-11 emulator,
and not on real hardware (I wish it was otherwise, but these are
the terms of the license).
Even old versions require a license...
