Could you elaborate on this? USL *assert* that the Net/2 sources contain their code, but there is no reason to suppose that they are legally in the right about this. Net/2 was distributed without any rule about replacing it with 4.4Lite and UCB cannot impose any such condition retroactively. So, where does this one-year rule come from? -- Richard -- Richard Tobin, HCRC, Edinburgh University R.Tobin@ed.ac.uk "Your monkey has got it right, sir." - HHGTTG
