Has it occurred to you that one generally isn't free to just disclose such
agreements for the amusement of sundry onlookers?

If SCO has a problem with NetBSD, I'm sure they'll let the appropriate people
know.  Certainly, if you think they ought to sue us, you should fell free to
try to get them to.  That they won't ought to be evidence enough that we are
doing just fine.

I can't see how Jason's under any obligation to provide to you details of a
confidential agreement just because you choose to be nasty about it.
