How 'bout last summer's consent decree, declaring once and forever that '4.4 BSD Lite' contains no 'UNIX' source code? You dork! OK, so this is a fine legal point, but I'm really sick of this dweeb arguing the point. Everyone that uses FreeBSD or NetBSD got dragged through the mud on this issue last year, so let's just say it once and for all: 4.4-Lite is not UNIX! FreeBSD is not UNIX! NetBSD is not UNIX! None of us has to pay AT&T, Novell, or X/Open *any* licensing fees! Terry, stop arguing with this dweeb! Both of you shaddup! ;^) Wes Peters
