The secret agreements which presumably allowed UCB and BSDi to continue using Unix code without getting sued over it. Permission which I've not seen extended to the rest of us by its owner, as has been done for the older versions of Unix. We're trusting that UCB or BSDi have published the code under its owner's license and that the published licenses are valid and can be interpreted to cover patents as well as copyrights. People with much at stake should "trust, but verify". Call this FUD if you will; FUD is an accurate description, in my mind. > Could we now please take this off -questions?

How dare you tell others to hide their replies in another list? If you want to object to a thread, do that in your first reply and without an on-topic comment; it's only fair, thank you.
