What are the limitations of the Berkely license? It depends on what you mean by "Berkeley License". The "OCTTOOLS" suite is distributed under "Berkeley License"; so is "Net/2 BSD". The first you can hardly do anything with (except acquire it cheap); the second, you can do anything you want with it as long as you give appropriate credit. For anyone that is wondering, "OCTTOOLS" is chip design software. Terry Lambert terry@cs.weber.edu --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
