Caldera and the The Unix Heritage Society worked out a deal where the 32V license and everything covered by it was made available to hobbyists. I am almost positive that this deal was worked out several years ago. Kirk McKusick was/is selling a 4 CD set of the source code for $100.00. I've got one of these packed away in a closet somewhere. Here are a few URL http://www.mckusick.com/csrg/index.html http://www.tuhs.org/ It's interesting to note that this set contains the complete source code to 4.3tahoe, 4.3reno, 4.4, 4.4BSD-Lite1, net.1, net.2, and 4.4BSD-Lite2 A clever person with a bit of perl could figure out what the 7 tainted files are. > > > Wouldn't the fact that those files exist mean that someone was > > breaking the law at a certain moment?? > > Well, it's not a law.

I am almost positive there was a CVS tree in those days. I remember learning how to use CVS back then and using some ones email instructions, Terry Lambert?, on how to use CVS. I also remember Jordan making a comment at a BAFUG meeting about sucking the CVS tree across a modem when he was still living in Ireland.
