I have a copy of 3.2 from june 2003 sitting on my desktop and it does
not have that statement. Instead, its appendix I contains:

    Written License for Use of the RenderMan Interface by Renderers
    A no-charge license is available from Pixar for anyone who wishes
to write a renderer that
    uses the Pixar RenderMan procedure calls or RIB requests. This
license must be in writing.

That statement is also present in all versions of the PrMan manual I
have access to. So it looks like something new from 3.2.1... but I
have no idea how old 3.2.1 is.
