It's been pointed out to me that even that statement is false, because, unlike the FreeBSD group, we are not throwing away our entire code history. We actually have a lot more information on the history of our code, and should someone decide to harass us (as if that hasn't been done on Usenet already), we can show that we have complied absolutely with the terms of our agreement. -- - Charles Hannum NetBSD group Working ports: i386, hp300, amiga, sun4c, mac68k, pc532, da30.
