I've no doubt in my mind that _eventually_ all this BSD/AT&T stuff will get ironed out in favor of the users, considering that Mike Karels and crew seem to be very dedicated to achieving that end, but I wouldn't get my hopes up as to when. In the meantime, perhaps the source license'd people should get together. I did bandy that idea around a couple of months back but didn't get much response (except from a few people saying "I don't have a source license but can I get BSD from you anyway? Puhhhleeeeeze?"). We can certainly swap code between ourselves - no sense in 5 different groups re-writing the memory management wheel (for example). Jordan
