In order to be eligible for the Berkeley sources, you must show proof of
an ATT System V Unix source license.

The ATT license is about $30,000; once you have that, you pay about $500
for the tape from Berkeley.

Certain portions (such as the networking code) are available without a
license, but most of the system is just a modified ATT Unix.

It is rumored that one of the enhancements of 4.4BSD is freedom from the
ATT license restrictions.
