Binaries derived from AT&T-licensed sources may *not* be posted to
the net.  More than that, they can't even be shared with other
binary licensees.  For now, essentially all of the released BSD
software (except for things like the networking code that have been
released separately, with an explicit statement that they are not
licensed by AT&T) is covered by the AT&T license, whether or not
it contains actual AT&T code.  In some future release, as I understand
things, much (perhaps nearly all) of BSD will be released without
AT&T restrictions.
