Note, that is pub/bsd:. This looks very similar to the sort of thing you
can find on uunet. Note that it is 4.*3*, so doesn't apply to the recent
thread on 386bsd4.4. $.3 is not a complete system, as not everything is
freed yet. Also, you may have missed these notes from pub/GUIDE:

NOTE: John Rogers, the last maintainer of this archive, has graduated and
left the university.  Everything here except "uSystem", "mag", and "oztex"
is likely to become increasingly stale.  
                                 ^^^^^ [and note the date on the file]

bsd:		BSD/tahoe sources that are free of AT&T licensing restric-
		tions.  Will likely move to crocus.waterloo.edu soon.

doc:		Miscellaneous documents, such as tech-reports from other
		institutions.  Incl. the texts of two of Stephen Hawking's
		popular  presentations on time, space, & everything.
