Lines: 16 Summary: I would guess that a version 7 source license is all thats needed for 4.1BSD and a System V license (or maybe III) for 4.2BSD and 4.3BSD. It all depends on what bits and pieces of AT&T code are in the final release. You progress from Version 6, 7, System III, V, etc. with each higher level source license emcompassing all the lower levels. If a single bit of System III code is in a version 7 kernel, you must have a System III license, its just that simple. Maybe not, maybe we will never know until some poor jerk lands him/herself in court and we see how the court decides. I don't want to be that jerk. -- Earl Wallace UUCP: ..!{ihnp4, ucbvax!hplabs, ucbvax!twg}!pesnta!earlw PHONE: (408) 727-5540 x230 USMAIL: Perkin-Elmer Corp., Santa Clara, Calif. 95054
