Yes and no...

It was illegal, but since a couple of weeks ago the sources of the
original AT&T UNIX have been released under a kind-of-BSD-license.
So the 'tainted' 4.3BSD release has suddenly become 'untainted'.

The FreeBSD CVS repository only goes back to FreeBSD2.0.

There was a short discussion in -hackers about it also.
