Yes, the first release of BSD was derived from AT&T Unix. But when it was released publically (4.3BSD NET/2), all the AT&T Unix code (all labeled unpublished and proprietory) was removed - they didn't have a right to distribute it. Latter, AT&T sued Berkeley and forced them to remove another half a dozen files; to prevent being sued, all the *BSD moved from 4.3BSD NET/2 to the certified AT&T clean 4.4BSD-lite. > I know what you're saying.

It's a one sided war; not many of Linux people bear any animosity towards *BSD. Frankly, the whole UNIX issue is not a big deal to me; I just see no reason why with two systems that look so much alike and are both so much alike UNIX systems, one should be considered UNIX and the other not. -- David Starner - dstarner98@aasaa.ofe.org Pointless website: http://dvdeug.dhis.org "I don't care if Bill personally has my name and reads my email and laughs at me.
