Are you talking about something other than the not so recently settled
USL (Novell) lawsuits against BSDI and The Regents of the University of
California and the countersuit by the Regents against USL?

Given that it looked as if USL got itself throughly whipped, what's the
issue?  Has something happened to break those settlement? I though 4.4Lite
was about to be released.
