To put any concerns to rest, we have not been contacted by anyone regarding our 386BSD code, nor have we heard anything negative about the 386BSD releases. As 386BSD is intended for the research and educational communities and is freely available (not proprietary), all code we have written is fully disclosed. In addition, methodology is published and available for review in major magazines. In fact, this project has been public knowledge for over three years now. Please refrain from using inflammatory words such as "crime" with respect to 386BSD and the developers, as we are not involved in this matter. We have no relationship with BSDi or CSRG, nor do we condone the actions of any party involved in this dispute. BTW, patches should be out in a few days, if we can ever get through mail. Bill and Lynne Jolitz.
