   The Berkeley code is not public domain; it is copyrighted by the
   Regents of the University of California. However, the BSD code *is*
   freely available as source. Obviously you can't sell it, but you can
   sell any modifications you make to it.

4 out of 5 network companies do it. I believe that you can sell it;
however, you have to credit the source of the software. Of course,
the difference here is rather a moot point; nobody sells the Berkeley
code without making a bunch of changes too, unless they're selling a
4.xBSD system.
