)The lawsuit is still not closed. For an overview of what's going on,
)there are OCR documents online (e.g. on ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de:
)/pub/comp/os/bsd/BSDI/bsdi-info/usl/). I think the recent was that
)the University has brought up a lawsuit against USL now, too, because
)of missing credits and copyrights in the networt code of the SVR4 release.

I imagine the lawyers are probably trying to figure out who is suing who
these days.  (Does USL even exist anymore?  And is X/Open handling the
trademark infringement part of the original USL-BSDI suit or was that
settled already?)
