LITTLE SNIPPETS???  Yeesh.  Besides, it's not just AT&T and Berkeley.
Where do you think the vnode code came fron?  How about the drivers?

The sooner all of you who want something for nothing get cracking
on writing device drivers, utilities, and so on, the sooner you'll
have your completely unencumbered OS.  You'll still need to wait for
AT&T to certify the code clean, though.
