   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?

I am talking about the results of this settlement!  It's evidently that
some folks didn't read those announcements too closely!  They threw all
existing Net/2 folks into limbo.

   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.

Again, read the settlements in more detail.  USL didn't get itself `whipped'
per-se, in that they DID get concessions.  The concession that Net/2 was
encumbered was one of them!  As to 4.4 lite, we're all waiting for that so
that we can proceed towards a target of complete legal freedom.
