386BSD is not involved in this dispute, and work is continuing as usual.
Neither Bill nor I believe that this dispute should have any affect on the
formation of a 386BSD newsgroup nor should it preclude research in the area.
(However, a comp.os.386bsd newsgroup would make certain "AT&T wanna-bes 
with BSD" most unhappy, as it's pretty hard to get people to pony-up dollars
when 386BSD is available and it's users active and supportive.)
