   Look at all of the anonymous FTP sites that pulled the BSD
   networking source pending the resolution of the suit.

I think that statement demonstrates that you don't fully understand
the difference between the `BSD Networking Release 2' and the `BSD
networking code'.  BNR2 contained a *lot* more than just the
networking code.  The networking code itself was *never* contested by
USL, because it was *clearly* not derived from 32V, given that 32V
didn't network.
